Hairshirt
The dependence saddens and disgusts me
But I know the leash won't tighten
And I know the eyes won't strain
And not one part of you
Yearns for whatever is beyond
The plot you lawfully purchased
But I still have a hairshirt of purpose
That I claim to love
I keep it in my closet and dream of the day that I
Don it again and subsequently set it ablaze
I look further back, I see nothing
No wooden area, no thaw
And no freeze
Just scuffs and pinholes
In drywall that's twelve years old, pathetic
So I party eremitic
But I know the leash won't tighten
And I know the eyes won't strain
And not one part of you
Yearns for whatever is beyond
The plot you lawfully purchased
But I still have a hairshirt of purpose
That I claim to love
I keep it in my closet and dream of the day that I
Don it again and subsequently set it ablaze
I look further back, I see nothing
No wooden area, no thaw
And no freeze
Just scuffs and pinholes
In drywall that's twelve years old, pathetic
So I party eremitic
