The Body Job


Resisting the easy narratives ain't easy

There's no credit for that

No redemption in the body job

Maybe we're just wishing our lives away

Lurching awkwardly from inspiration to embarrassment

No release from men

They want to see us inside out

Reborn a believer

Navigating spectres

Arranging fragments of the sun

 

It's quiet in front of me

But you're coming through

Lost in the body job

Shaking and spitting

As they make you

And unmake you

To make you again

Surprised like its Christmas everyday

No release from men

No escape from the wheel

 

Resisting the easy narratives ain't easy

There's no credit for that

And no redemption in the body job
