lyrics

You took a Monday sick day, you had to, there’s no other way
you’d stay sane till Friday came around again
Wear a disguise, you never know whose eyes your eyes will meet
at the crosswalk where Main colludes with Federal Street

And try to imagine how a fish feels, eyeballs soaking wet
Take a drag, smell the cornfields, tighten your tourniquet
And clear your head before you lapse into regret

Kick a pinecone past the people running late for work
and flattened squirrels that lacked the skills to swerve
Orange-scrubbed inmates spreading bright red mulch in Veterans Park
their armed guard counts the hours till his life can start

and tries to imagine how a fish feels...

The maples lean towards you, whispering, “Forget
that soon our leaves catch flames a shade of orange sherbet”
See the berries growing brighter every day
Soon their blood will stain your teeth as they part to say:

­Try to imagine how a fish feels…
