Beast of Burden (Take a Walk)

I got up
Stood up
Took a walk
Past the carpet
Past the wall
Through the door
Into the hall
Afraid of the animal
A boy ran screaming to the car
The father looked on from afar
A woman pulled her child aside
I nearly died
I sat down
Lay down
Heard a sound
I swam around
On the wall
On the door
Into the hall
Afraid of the animal
I met a priest without a head
I met two missionaries, now they’re dead
I met Christ at a crossroad
I nearly died there
