Recovering the Opposable Thumb |
| Is there any hope for us, or are the rumors true? |
| Are we just the mulch and kindling that accrues? |
| Can we recover from this? |
| I’ve seen expressions in department stores. |
| I’ve smelled regression wafting up from these shores. |
| This is not a celebration of slipping through some crack. |
| This is sloth and devastation and we’re the resulting trash. |
| Count all your fingers tonight. |
| And believe what you find! |
| (I'm sick of making small talk in this rotting chowline.) |
| Can we recover? |
| We cover our heads and run for the gutter! |
| Toby Keith’s horses and Toby Keith’s men |
| Finally put us all in our place. |
| It’s a wonderful hug when there’s so much MORE to love, |
| When there’s steaks and hearts jammed in your face. |
| This is the fucking slop line and we’re scratching with our hooves. |
| How much of evolution must we finally disprove? |
| Count all your fingers tonight. |
| I can’t believe what we find. |
| Can we recover? |
| We cover our heads and we run for the gutter! |
| Dear Mother, |
| I’m sorry. |
| There was nowhere left to run. |
| We fought and we fought until our bullets ran out, |
| And they took us one by one. |
| Dear Mother, |
| I’m sorry. |
| We had just barely begun. |
| This will be the last letter from your only son. |
| Yeah I do not believe! |
| Recover as one… |
