God, look how,
in a five-years’ time
I’ve become darker
and I’ve changed my name to Buck.
Now,
you know I’m prone to boredom
and prone to start again
and again.
And it’s taking me too long,
it’s taking me so long
burying
my own corpse.
But it’s almost done
and winter’s almost gone
and we’re still apart
in this cold backyard.
I wait for destruction
to treat us like sons
and to take us from darkness
to the open road.
(We lack a road)
The man in me
and the monkey in me
and the you in me
think the same:
that I’m a cruel man
swimming in my own blood,
but I think I’m just
quite devoted.
All my etceteras
and all of my lies
walk outside.
and so will I.
