Bugs & Flowers |
| Out in the forest |
| Out past the stone wall |
| Built by old farmers |
| Or older guys |
| I saw a railway |
| With tracks all rusted |
| Wild flowers blooming |
| Up through the tides |
| I set out walking |
| Just cross-tie walking |
| Out on the cross-ties |
| Where I could step |
| Sometimes I missed one |
| Sometimes there was none |
| Sometimes the flowers |
| Had eaten it |
| The sun was burning |
| The flies were churning |
| The trees were turning |
| Inside the sky |
| The tracks were rotten |
| Some trash forgotten |
| Sometimes a bottle with ash inside |
| I’ve been a walker |
| A sidewalk talker |
| Out on the sidewalks |
| Where I could stay |
| Someday my body |
| Will look real shoddy |
| Wherever flowers have eaten it |
| Voracious flowers |
| Voracious hours |
| Voracious people |
| Voracious slime |
| Words like voracious |
| Just sound like nonsense |
| After you say them about five times |
| These flowers blooming |
| They are not human |
| These flies and insects |
| Are really weird |
| Their backs are shiny |
| Their souls are tiny |
| And by the zillions |
| They’ve disappeared |
| So if there’s life after |
| It’s packed with insects |
| It’s filled with flowers |
| No room for us |
| When they kick the bucket |
| They just say chuck it |
| They come and go like |
| Infinite dust |
| The human race’s |
| Beautiful faces |
| Changing places |
| Reform and bust |
| When we kick the bucket |
| Let’s just say chuck it |
| We’ll come and go like |
| Infinite dust |
