Habitat

It's so still How'd you do that? You settled down my habitat Downhill Through the speed trap And the agitated aftermath When across the state is gone and dilapidated The wheel froze And it sounded like cymbals The birds exploded off the eve I read my name And I scream like a kettle Metabolize the memory When across the state is gone and dilapidated And it feels a little bit empty A riddle of empathy In the morning I'll go Through the cold But not alone Did I forget? My teacher says The precipice The precedent The depressing question Of our time Of CivilWarLand in Bad Decline I want to see The present tense In retrospect A monument Been through benthic tides And vandalized Before my eyes Before I die "Never forget" The t-shirt says With no mask on
