Human Bog - Baths

By day

Positioning pearls on younger girls who couldn’t be bothered

Buttoning poise on younger boys avoiding their father

A shade in my employer’s waking dream

I conduct myself invisibly

By moon

A fan of reprimand and the new men in the room

I’m queer in a way that works for you

If this is stupid will you see it through

The lengths I go to get held onto

By day

Positioning pearls on younger girls who couldn’t be bothered

Buttoning poise on younger boys avoiding their father

I ran out of expectancy

Everyone alive live fuller lives than me

By moon

I’m queer in a way that works for you

I might allow the devil through

If this is awful I will not be moved

The lengths I go to get held onto

By hate

Pearls on younger girls who couldn’t be bothered

Hate

Poise on younger boys avoiding their father

I ran out of expectancy

Everyone alive live fuller lives than me

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

Queer in a way that’s failed me

I’m not enough of anything

Queer in a way that works for them

Common tongue work in uncommon beds

I’m so stupid in my confidence

I doubt my will can last this thinly spread

Everyone outside swallow the light and creed

Everyone alive live fuller lives than me

I’m queer in a way that’s failed me

Everyone alive live fuller lives than me

Everyone alive live fuller lives than me
