The Becoming

They've met and decided to stay together all their lives / One day he had to take a long journey, he woke up and went away / Far beyond the limitations of his immediate environment / his own peculiar passivity in space and his gender / Tears rolled out of his eyes / the long journey took the space of personal ambitions and mundane, everyday cares / While the spouse did the same, waking up, breathing going back to bed, over and over / One day he returned, he was different, challenged, but could not explain just what had happened / He was a man! A man! / With all its connotations, the whereabouts and in-betweens / there were certain things he could and could not do.

The exposition of ten thousand dead diplomats / stretches from the German border of Trier to the very muzzle of Luxembourg / The bestial adult humans swarm the streets like seagulls in search for supper / It is not uncommon to think of random acts of unnecessary violence / A hit and run / a fancy shoot out, involving a cannibalheaded monsterbabe of world business / paper bag in hand / Here come to avenge the deaths of all unsuspecting victims of your war / A crime of thousands and the spectators are slightly bored / It is not remorse they seek in the nightclubs / in Mercedeses they halt for a pause / They say it was oh-so-sudden / you could barely hear it happening / even the rats in the house were all damn quiet / there was not a scratch to be heard / We exist all the while the lights are on.
