Maybe You Could Hunt Foxes?
i will fill in boxes
maybe,
you could hunt foxes
find a pack of dogs
and then a horse
one who is willing –
to obey your commands
maybe,
we could dance
as they smoke dynamite
and strangle every chance
i will fill in boxes
like the good little slave i am
you will hunt foxes
i will help shore up the dam
you will look at boxes
but never understand them
maybe,
i could just jump from buildings
or swing from a tree
this greed and paranoia
saps all the sap from me
i will fill in boxes
maybe,
you could hunt foxes
