In Uniform

It’s an itch at the base of your neck
Behind your eyes, on the roof of your mouth
A desire that burns as desires do
To hurt as you have been hurt
Are you excited that every day the world’s smartest people are developing new
ways to haunt and perturb?
If you could, you would vomit on cue on the faces of all of those who have
wronged you
You say you won’t but you will
You say you won’t but you will
You say you won’t but one day you will
Aren’t you the righteous one?
And when the big terror comes as it will surely come
And the dogs let themselves off their chains
All your dry language, scorched earth, gritted teeth, sweet release
You’re only trying to survive the moral market
Scrambling to the top of a sphere
Stampede in the court house, caught in the trample
Caught in the rain, caught in the rain
You say you won’t but you will
You say you won’t but you will
You say you won’t but one day you will
Aren’t you the righteous one?
You say you won’t but you will
You say you won’t but you will
You say you won’t but one day you will
Aren’t you the righteous one?
One day, you in uniform
One day, you in uniform
One day, you in uniform
One day, you in uniform
One day, you in uniform
One day, you in uniform
One day, you in uniform
One day, you in uniform
(One day, you in uniform
One day, you)
