Sincerely, H. C. Pregerson - Emperor X

I’m encased in your numb arms

In the clutch of tollway sludge

I’m infected and you’re not

I live alone here on this plot

In the Athens hood

And you won’t want to enter through the signal

But you’re too freaked out to not

When you’re coiled volume tone

Try to cut yourself more tape

Pull it off -- infection’s worse

It’s orange now, it’s bubbling

Take it off with tolnaftate

And secretly precociously scratch until it blisters

Broken hands reaching out through the stones

Dayglo flags guiding the National Guard troops home

Patrolling through downtown

We’re under this building

We’re holding our phones up, deflated and powerless…

…until we felt faint warmth from the powerlines!

WHY?!?

Direct complains to Loss Recovery
