lyrics

The possum boy was buried by the diesel cells

A trench was dug and brimmed with a tangle of assorted road kill

Among the bludgeoned mammals blared pair of hairless nostrils

A skull without a dome and some disassembled fingers
-
The possum boy was found to have died upon discovery

A junk man found his body and conveyed him wrapped in bed sheets

An autopsy was served and perverted by ability

As our clumsy lacerations yielded no discoveries

-()-
Just a boy,
Without a chin,
With tiny teeth
And cheeks of tin

Hair
of slender stone
nails
overgrown

his eyes
will cotton down
his lips
will narrow out

His claws
Will turn To shells
His brain
A muddy cloud
-()-

The possum boy drank whisky from a dog bowl by the drug store

And stumbled towards the shelter of a stationary Chrysler

Layed up tween its wheels he drew names along the cylinders

And slept before his sky of constellated debtors
-
The possum boy awoke to see his fur among the gravel

His balding fingers reached to feel the smoothness of his temple

The possum boy stood up to hear the chantings of the freeway

with asphalt in his teeth he walked off towards that highway
