(CLICK CLICK CLACK! CLICK CLICK CLACK!)

(BRRRRRRRR BRICK BRACK BLAOW!!)

Baby, you ain't gotta,

Hold me (DOWN!!!)

Nah, not then, not here, not (NOW!!!)

This flicker of sharp heat, (flick flick)

Like a snake’s tongue, (slith slith)

Slobbering on the hum

of

the

nerves

of

my

spine, (stitch stitch)

Time running out,

(tick tick)

shoulders,

neck,

thrum,

thump,

zap,

pump, (uhh uhh)

the vertebrae breathe, (hmmm)

stretch, slump,

tendrils, wisps,

echoes, whispers,

haunt, stomp,

taut, taunt,

jerk, jet,

just a jaunt, (jaunt)

just a launch, (launch)

just an explosion, (BLAOW!)

just a glitter,

just a want,

just a bump….

Bump….

Bump……

bump……….

Put your, guns up,

The funs up,

The funds up,

The slump up,

Free for all, free for me, free for y’all

Thump up, (Brack)

These war drums, (bump bump)

Thump up, (brr brack)

These war drums, (bump bump)

Strum up, (brack brack)

These war drums, (bump bump)

Hum up, (brack brack)

These war drums, (bump bump)

Thrum up, (brack brack)

These war drums, (bump bump)

Pump up, (brr brr)

These war drums, (bump bump)

Crump up, moonwalk, monkey flip, double jointed, jump up,

These war drums.

Sooo Drum up,

Bump..

bump…

bump…..

bump……

bump……..

S-S-Slick back,

G-G-Get ya wig back,

Get ya (lick) lick back,

Get ya (stitch) stitch back,

Get ya (fit) fit back,

Get ya (hit) hit back,

Get ya (rips) rips back,

Life was good once,

You can’t wish back, (sorry)

Your grief is a chasm,

A big, big gap,

Only rebuild, (yuh yuh)

Only re-imagine, (yuh yuh)

Only drown in these waters, (yuh yuh)

Only caverns, (yuh yuh)

Only spelunking, (yuh yuh)

Only splashing, (yuh yuh)

Only you could fathom, (yuh yuh)

Switch back, tear the roof off the house,

Get ya tendons back,

Get ya whip back,

Get ya whistle back,

And blow that motherfucker loud.

LOUD!

LOUD!
