A SHOT AWAY

shot in the arm
shot in the back

Merry Clayton
backing your jumping
jack vocals

the whole planet
about to boil

rise up, straming, foaming,
bubbling over

but
if we go
(fast fast
not slow)

at least we can tell ourselves
with songs like these

we were
more than microbes,
were
way more

than
just froth
