Lyrics
I tend to
this sorry lot
it’s not much but
it’s all I’ve got
fence posts replaced
with mannequin arms and legs
nylon grass
teeming with rubber snakes
extremities
undulating with the breeze
diving deep
or blindly reaching
it all slithers or shivers
the gravel driveway’s skittering
acrylic teeth
and loose fillings
a collection of odds and ends
on flagrant display
townsfolk with rope
and rifle congregate
it’s in my nature
to get carried away
a stained art silk negligée
on the flagpole waves
melting polyester blooms
lining the walkways
plastic plates stacked
canopies of saran wrap
vinyl lattices
covered in latex rats
gawkers and urban myth hawkers
set up shop outside
my fabricated filth
spills over the property line
a collection of odds and ends
an unruly array
townsfolk with tar
and feathers surge irate
laughing through a frothing sneer
as I’m carried away
they say I was born without a sense of shame
I only feel alive when I get carried away
the thrill of being reviled
cascading hands batter and maim
still I find salvation in human touch
it’s from my depraved estate I should be saved
my malleable
menagerie
my unyielding
pseudo sanctuary
a human living
not just a human being
