New Wine, New Skins |
| If God wills this time tomorrow, bound for Boise via plane |
| (willful mispronunciation of my destination’s name) |
| I’d like to write a sequel to «the State That I am in» |
| If God wills this time tomorrow in the early morning rain |
| I’ll unpack the boots I borrowed and turn back the way I came |
| I’d like to write a sequel to «the State I am in» |
| And I’d like to call the song New Wine, New Skins |
| «God's will» or «come what fortune gives"--- |
| Or is this truly how you’d choose to live: |
| Managing the narrative? |
| Come, unfastening android limbs |
| In the moonlight through translucent skin |
| Now we’ve both been there and back again |
| To the state that I’m no longer in |
| With carbon fiber lips whereby |
| Came thought reflex personified |
| Now a scorpion in the sky, harmless as a butterfly |
| SCORPION: You can pin and mount me likewise! |
| If you fail first, some warm, bright day |
| I’ll unperform at your unmarked grave |
| And you can tell me what those eyes have seen |
| But for now the Creek-don't-rise routine |
| With churning engine, fix my head |
| Up north in the Gold Fork riverbed |
| From the misuse of intelligence |
| And all I wish I’d said pours out |
| New wine, new skins |
| «God's will» or «come what fortune gives» |
| Or is this truly how you’d choose to live? |
