lyrics

every day, I pry open strangers’ mouths.
look down throats, no words at all.
hoard their stubs, breathe in their smoke.
taste no tears, no laughs to spare.
every day, I gorge on plastic straws to suck the warmth out of their lives.
a wall of dreams divides them from the dead.
go to work, read the news,
I was in arms reach.
mow the lawn, feed the kids,
I was in arms reach.
wonder how you’ll seize the day, bound and gagged with my memory.
ghost of joy haunts your town,
leaving gifts.
ghost of joy has sealed all exits.
