| A termite burrows through a particle board
|
| It’s not the strongest, but it’s all we could afford
|
| We’ll treat it carefully and monitor close
|
| If we see an infestation we’ll be sure to do some damage on it
|
| And while I’m at it, friend, I’ll write you a note-
|
| Strip off some laminate and give you some hope
|
| I hope you survive this- you likely won’t
|
| The crossbeams need some treatment, so we put them under pressure
|
| And they fall away
|
| Beams yield. |
| Boards break
|
| The floor planks vibrate. |
| House shakes
|
| You hit the pound, I’m sure you like it a lot
|
| You peel the paint off the walls 'cause you’re afraid to rock
|
| Collecting all the signatures you need to purify your data
|
| It’s been awhile since I’ve seen you this clean, and that disturbs me
|
| I don’t know what it means
|
| How far along are you in your pregnancy?
|
| You call his name
|
| But it’s your flexing back that’s important to the colony’s claim
|
| Hold up the shuddering frame
|
| Turn it off, unsupported-
|
| Clear a path with a chemical flame |
