The Needle

a million insects
on a slice of bread
rolling in from miles around
to eat the only option left
tonight they’ll try to move
the needle the right way
while i
have another
tied to your tail
i go
rolling over like a plane
through the rest of my
good dream
as it falls to pieces
that man
can go fuck himself
i’m going on my break right now
i don’t care what he says
maybe right here
maybe out in town
a yellow strip light
gonna smile on down
saying
“let them have a forty share”
hallelujah, allez argos
ya ya ya ya
hallelujah, allez argos
i used to have
a thing for them
i used to keep them
as my pets
do you want us all to drown
in a sea of paperwork?
why would you show yourself
to half the world
so unrehearsed?
you’ll be wrong too
eventually
so don’t look at me
Like that
when your belly goes up
what a player he was
by the way
i think about him all the time
but he never shows up
and maybe right here
maybe out in town
yellow strip light
gonna smile on down
and say
“let them have it i don’t care”
hallelujah, allez argos
ya ya ya ya
hallelujah, allez argos
