What Happened To You
Let me tell you
I was met with the human brush
What happened to you
I believed and believed in nothing
My head’s filled up (fills up)
crafting nonsense into a weapon
we fall upon the bloody sword of noise
What happened to you
The things I knew became the things I loved, and the things I loved turned me bitter
My Superior says, what happened to you.
let me tell you.
he commanded the tellers
he was, of course, the only one with
direct access to the security we needed
the safety that we could tie around ourselves in knots
he had it in stock-piles
he could plunge his hands deep into sacks
filled with security
lifting his hands out, he watched
security sift through his fingers
back into the sacks
that he tied up
returning them to their place in the vault
What happened to you
I believed in fortresses
I believed in walls
I climbed a treacherous hill
inaccessible by car or even airplane
pigeons ask that you return the assignment on time
they say you’ve fallen behind in your work
a severed finger appears in the mail room
I wanted to know if there was a place
free from worry
