There’s a lot of space between
What I want and what I need
My ribcage and my spleen
The atoms in my brain
I was looking for the tower of light
A familiar cry split the night
I couldn’t tell wrong from right
Like, I thought they were both the same 

Men lined up like bowling pins
in flowing gowns and sequins 
Supermarkets of rotting fruit
That constitute a lack of food 

Waves of doubt break upon the shore
I’m out with my metal detector 
The pirates are all restless and bored 
They want what they’re owed
The doctor’s face is contorted and numb
He’s beating his chest and dragging a drum
And in a flash of inspiration comes
Barreling down the road

Men fall down in his wake
All yield before he who makes
If you’re not busy making art
Surely you’ll be ripped apart 

Soldiers sweep the scraps and sing
Their tired song as nurses bring
Bread to eat and wine to drink
Tinted yellow skies
Women share stories of salty sin
Never letting on the dark within 
Fortune smiles a toothy grin
But the smile doesn’t reach her eyes

Men wash up all mud and sand
No sweat left to even make a stand
The sun sets bloody and hibernates
Until the closing of St. Peter’s gates
