Two Hundred Steps

Two hundred steps to
The mouth of truth
Open up that gaping maw
Crack wide the snapping jaw.

In its eye no mystery
Just a need
A need to consume
And strip my costume.

Violins play as I walk 
I'll learn your insides next 
I'll be a student of your teeth
An apprentice of true relief.
