The Modern Today

Sister, I have let out all your animals

Let them into the squall of the modern today

Maybe free to die in public spaces

But free to die any which way

So let the sun blind canary eyes

Eyes most used to florescent light

So let the weather change the skin your wearing

Skin most used to air-conditioning

Lover, we agreed to throw out all of our clothes

Piling up material that binds us to this earth

Maybe light a match and fire them to the heavens

Or call them broken and go on wearing them anyway

Into the flood, as you would my lover

Into the fire, as you would my lover

Now forget that flood, now forget that fire
