Honk sniffs loftily around the acid rabble
And fugitives of the night
You are are what you are
You will be what you will be
You are a cat
A duck
You are a tree.
You are a tree
So it came to pass
My feet sprang roots and burrowed through the earth
Cool dark drinking the dark earth’s nutrients
Beneath the lozenges of phosphorous street light
My hair became branches and reached for the indifferent stars
For their sad cold brightness
While the dark waves of madness
Washed up the shore of whoever I was
Before I was me
