“Metronome Arthritis”
Strike this match and let loose the oven’s breath.
Up the volume that flirts with the UHF.
Swipe the magnets on the audio tape.
These arsons,
Of grand larceny.
Keep running, keep running in place.
Achilles tendon severed for the race.
Set the temperature on delete.
Keep running, keep running in place.
Let’s hit the neighborhood today.
Quick to the throat,
In this ink cartridge funeral.
Marble caps lock,
Zip code affiliate.
You’ve got a run,
On your pharmaceutical.
You better change it before the night grows old.
You’ve got a run,
On your pharmaceuticals.
You better change it before the night grows old.
Prescriptions former,
Cut your suit and tie cuticals.
You cut your fingernails way too short.
What if forensics finds the answers?
What if they stole my fingerprints?
Where did I leave my book of matches?
We’ll find you.
