You'Re Up

when you think you're out of the woods

three-headed alligators come chasing

somehow invisible, the apocalypse holds a card for you

the black sky cracks open, rolling icy thunder

in your direction

the things you said were quite tough

but were not, and never will be

birthed from some divine origin enough

in order to keep from reality

that single mind-blowing TRUTH!

that henceforth and forever-more you'll stand

and lie

in numb submission to;

this cold wait for nothing is yours and mine
