Never Idle Hands

from NARCISSYPHUS by Tavo Carbone

/

lyrics

Several promises ago when the sky hung low
In your hands you could place all your natural thoughts
On a race that you grope to relate with / belong to,
As you were innately taught

When your hands were your hands, not merely
Dutiful promotional thumbs.
Withstand what you can; No one more special but
For taste of importance can win and then become
More productive with never idle hands.

As productive with your hands
As you conduct them to be.

A city makes demands its plastic children understand.
When the dog whistle blows look to the collar in your hand.
As full of life as playing dead gets your eyes roll over hours
And seek affectionate pets.

Oh how good try diversify morally impactful class sniffing nod.
Brand yourself in the sunset with a cattle prod.
You’ve done a good job!
