i'm no poor storyteller

just a poverish soothsayer

you can smack me into shape if you like

or we could talk all night



if jesus was born in a race of age

would a noose of thorns be more fitting



the fear swells

creating an undulating lull

mind body and soul

these odd knees are old



if jesus was born into a race of age

would a noose of thorns be more fitting

if jesus was born with a similar rage

would a noose of thorns be more fitting



on which day did god create

this awful violence that I see

on which day did god create

this awkward violence that i see
