Slavish Devotion to Form - Self Defense Family

Give directions to the deaf

With pointing gestures

Talk the glory of god

With some fool believers

They say I’ve gotta engage with the world and the people living in it

But I stay open to second opinions

They say if I want want things

Or even to just want to stay healthy

These are the terms the world offers and I’ve have to meet it halfway

But I don’t buy that exposure to sick will ever help me

Talk in circles with a bigot

For what payoff?

Yell with an angry mob

In that way get off

They say I’ve gotta engage with the world and the people in it

But I stay open to second opinions

They say if I want want things

Or even to just want to stay healthy

These are the terms the world offers and I’ve have to meet it halfway

Punch an old head

Break your fist

In 40 years

Be gone and dead

They say engage with the world

And the people living in it

I’ll be reading my comic books instead
