The Demon in Me
The demon in me
Makes you feel like you are along for the ride
When in fact
You are a new boy on the renter schedule
Trying to be
Them as to wants to be wended on
The road to Absolom and the ghetto. I will
Be then and there the One who isn’t going
But who isn’t coming neither
As it is about to fall and that makes
You a little cunning about the way
You ask for the mark of the dog
On your eyes and ears.
Bark and you shall find
That it takes a lot of time to make it to the
End of the mile that you have started oh so long
Ago. I will be the then and the there but not the why.
