Condition - Ruth Ruth

Captured by a crack in the walk

My attention, by a thread, unshakable

One day I will undermine you all

A murder in the bath, my boyfriend

The landlord touched me where he shouldn’t have

The rabbit in my head will run no more

Then it all came back to me

Condition… Condition

I remain, humbly, your tool

A penguin in the yard, a drip

A ringing bell, a hunchback midget band

A cracker for a bleak and hungry girl

Then it all came back to me

Condition… Condition

I remain, humbly, your tool

Then it all came back to me

Roman waiting in the hall

A framed photograph and Helen through the wall

Then it all came back to me

Condition… Condition

I remain, humbly, your tool
