Wet atrophy
No, wait, something about a spider
Or maybe an ape
But isn’t that always the way
To make yourself famous
To make yourself wait
Tragically uninvited
Again, to say
Tragically uninvited
To say
I was only struggling for patience
I was only struggling for truth
Here I am again making angels
Of the little ones like me and you
Everywhere I go
I must try
Everywhere I go
What I say
Everything I try
I must say
Everything I think
I must say
Until the iconoclast has gone home
Until they save me from myself
Until they dream of another
Leave me as
Everything I say
I hope
Everything I say
I hope
Everything I say
I hope
