How The Leopard Got It's Spots

>Palms are fitted black and finely tuned to triggers that cause bodies to tremble.<

>>But this mud looks shallow from the beach when we hide behind such ugly faces<<

>And the dark eyed woman lifts her head, "Why do we hide behind such ugly faces?"<

>>Child bearing games from the streets down to the shores<<
>They're playing as waterways open in an obscene gaping gasp.<
>>"Rally all your men there is work to be done"<<

>Still we don't have the time for speaking out of place, because he won't come down<

>>He won't come down -- He won't come down<<

>When lengths of snakes match each silent syllable, "With eyes like these"<
>>Face glistening with suspense of a scalpel blade<<
>Clockwork calculating surgical precision.<

>>Palms are fitted black and finely tuned to stomachs that swallowed whole...<<


The sowing is easy for me.
It's the reaping that's hard.
Lord teach me to be patient
and eat what I planted.
