What The Crows Say
by Jason Earls / January 2005



Eat another cheeseburger
Ask for more rent
Fall down into a double heart attack

Look at those
Purple eyes on the computer screen
Then read the dog's last ass
Your mid-air nightmare
Will rectify

Frowning cunnilingus
Is upon us
Will murder us
Screeches for us
Like a military python man

Oh, Oh
"Mercy for the Bible." scold the crows

I want to be a bloodsucker
So she'll know me
So she'll own me
With her rectangular features
And her big blonde eyelashes
To suck on

And the heart attacks multiply
Like frogmen on the equator of hate.

Oh, Oh
Here come the black land mines on the hillside
The floating corpses in the Atlantic
And a woman spiraling into Hell
With grey wings
Folded up into neutrons

And she jolts out a blue atomic bomb
Then disappears
Gone

Oh, Oh
"Mercy folds the Bible." scold the crows.
