Trees can reach skeletal from the ground to touch the sky.
Oh yes they can, oh yes they can.
Roadways can snake through and around them, untouched by their dead and falling leaves.
Oh yes they can, oh yes they can.
But I shouldn't walk on these roads, not tonight. Tonight is not the night for walking.
But why not?
Cars go along these roads, and they're lit by batteries and they hug the roads with their rubber wheels. And they go fast along these roads, a hundred kilometers an hour. These cars race across the country.
You don't say?
But I do say, and you'd best stay out of their way. They can go up hills as fast as down, and from inside some there's a booming sound.
They call that bass.
Treble's been forgotten. It's gone the way of tin foil.
They say it was too tinny.
It was, and that's why they got rid of it. Too loud, not enough oomph. They've put something in its place, something that shakes the earth. You can hear these cars coming from a block away.
The crazies don't know what to make of it.
But they make something out of it. That's what you don't understand. They call it the apocalypse. They say it's angels and the ground moving is their divine redemption, it's going to open up they say to no one in particular.
They call it the end of days? The angel Gabriel and Saint Michael and a whole host of angels coming to garner souls, take them up to God's loving hands? Jesus loves us all they must surely say, for he surely does.
He surely does, there's no denying that. Surely Jesus loves us all, he died for our sins.
He died on the cross, nails through his splayed hands, nails through his ankles. His back was worn ragged by Roman's whips, rending chunks of flesh and drawing rivulets of blood like welted well-streams while he carried the cross. They hailed Jesus and he was the king of the Jews, and he wore a crown of thorns and he died for us.
But I've never seen the cross.
It was there. Oh yes it was there. And the crazies can see it, oh yes they can, oh yes they can.
What a terrible thing to see, what a horrible sight, and how dreadful it must have been to bear witness to that. Did they cheer?
Oh yes they did, oh yes they did.
They were crazies then, who threw Jesus onto that cross, who flayed the flesh from his back.
They are crazies now who see him so you say.
They speak to themselves, they're still tortured by the image and they're a threat to the herd, they don't queu up with the rest of us while we wait. They go to the front of the line. They drink and they live on pavement when it's cold and they sleep on grass when it's warm. That's what Jesus' sacrifice did, oh yes it is, oh yes it is.
Maybe you don't see things, maybe you're crazy?
Maybe I am. But I build, oh yes I do, oh yes I do.
But what do you build?
I build skyscrapers, and I pollute rivers, and I still live when fish and fawns all die and I am fascinated. I build cars and roads and neon lights, I go out to bars and get in fights, oh yes I do, oh yes I do.
But do you build the trees? Do you build the hawks that killed the fish before you? Did you build the beasts that prayed on your anscestors?
No I didn't, but I'm learning how to build them, oh yes I am oh yes I am.
