Steady Hand

I'm a librarian

Putting away the book you wrote

Born again

Watching you preach, preach, preach

I'm a mother hold

Holding towels by the pool

I'm a steady hand

TVs on

For the kid and we don't care

Overhead

Dead engines float around

I'm a spider-arm

Sent into the debris to pull you down

I'm a steady hand

I'm the first heart

Cut out and replaced with what will work

Speculator

Readying your cheat, cheat, cheat

And looking down

Tremor in the sea beneath our feet

I'm a steady hand

I heard the poet speak

Let everything happen to me

That no feeling is final

I'm a gold rush

Drop in to exchange without a trace

Gunrunner

Biting her cheek, cheek, cheek

I'm the feminist

Asking you to feel

Instead you run

I'm a steady hand
