2014 (the middle years): Animals

you trample on the history of those that came before
you sell your mind and body to those that pay the fare
and words are so misleading
and deeds have so much meaning
and we are in love with you (for real)

they were so wrong
oh for so long
Let’s just call it off

you claim it’s not you or me
you say it’s on the wall
you reference every one and thing as if it makes the whole
and text doesn’t equal meaning
and talk doesn’t equal believing
and it’s a shame because we love you (seriously)

we were so wrong
oh for so long
we should just start again

it’s a persistent belief
it’s a persistent need
it’s a vocation for me
not a vacation for you!

I work figuratively or I would say that my work is primarily figurative

we were so wrong
oh for so long
we should just start again
