| I saw the face of God, a mouth in a pool of blood
|
| At 9 in the morning, after sleep in a bathtub
|
| A body can make you think that colors obtain in things
|
| Like Maggie Nelson said, «The color inside of the—»
|
| Can I feel nostalgia for a death I will never know?
|
| The silence of silence; |
| this is all that I’ve ever wanted
|
| When I woke up in the tub invisible wrecked ships
|
| Circled around my head, a voice screamed:
|
| «You wouldn’t want it
|
| If you could see the pain in the anteroom
|
| You wouldn’t applaud it
|
| Nothing on this side was built for you»
|
| And now you’re laughing
|
| Would you laugh when they play it all back?
|
| And in the movie of your life
|
| You only speak in one scene
|
| And when the door opens, you say
|
| «I've been thinking 'bout it my whole life long»
|
| And when they ask you what you mean
|
| Your lips are moving, but the mic’s not on
|
| Thought it was a pool of blood
|
| But then when the camera stopped
|
| The whole thing evaporates
|
| A voice with no body shouts:
|
| «The money has all run out
|
| What we used to call a job
|
| Is now handled by machines, you can die in peace»
|
| «You wouldn’t want it —
|
| If you could see the pain in the anteroom
|
| You wouldn’t applaud it
|
| Nothing on this side was built for you»
|
| And now you’re laughing
|
| Would you laugh when they play it all back?
|
| And in the movie of your life
|
| You only speak in one scene
|
| And when the door opens, you say
|
| «I've been thinking 'bout it my whole life long»
|
| And when they ask you what you mean
|
| Your lips are moving, but the mic’s not on
|
| What have you been trying to say?
|
| Is this a joke or some kind of mistake?
|
| No one’s counting the days
|
| Until your whole little body becomes even less than decay, decay
