Written by J H Martin @ A Coat for a Monkey
The delays
And the reason
Are always the same
I see it wrapped around
The skin’s pagoda
I feel it
Filling my solitary shell
This need to make more
This thirst for control
This link of a chain
This gas for the eyes
Turning tired lowering
They say a lesson bitter learned
Is better than no lesson ever learned
The fines and the debts
The fights and protests
The rucks and the racks
They all add up with interest
And make the silence heavier
Wrapped up and packed down
I watch the boards catch the rain
New pools for new reflections
A world floating at sea
