We were told about wisdom that comes in light; what wisdom don’t come don’t hide. It don’t try, it don’t come close, but their bark is worse than their bite.
Ow, ow, ow.
Covered up in white, white gauze and bandages soaked in salt. Let my body drain for forty days--for forty days and forty nights. Organize my organs into jars; organize my body out of clothes.
Ow, ow, ow.
We don’t need no bodies. We don’t need nobodies.
