It was raining blows.
It was mincing words.
It was bouncing on me.
It was grinding me.
...
I sit at the end of the yard
I see the true end of the string
Long, winding it goes
Leading my thoughts through the needle
...
I didn't know that
tombstones are greedy.
I came to talk to you,
and they all looked at me,
...
The call has been sounded,
yet we swing from pillar to post.
The sounding of the call astounds
...
Keeping my foot on the pedal has to
be done to keep this bike
on the path.
