all i ever wanted was a chance to participate
a chance to test my mettle
now they won't even let me through the front gate
past the the threshold of the iconic
white picket fence
spot the dog just bares his teeth when i walk by
and dick and jane just shiver
and now i'm naked and screaming and running around
and using location to see you with sound
you're a naughty chiroptera with a heart of gold
so i'll leave you alone for now
i don't think i should have to sacrifice
my ability to tunnel out of this place
i recall your previous incarnation
always blaming the shoe
when the foot is what ails you
holding
fearing
there is nothing left for you
hear me now
i can
still smell the sea
though I left home so long ago
