letra de consent decree - erich zann

a sharp rap on a marble counter
a dull thud on a marble floor
three seconds of silence
a rush for the door
dark shapes pour forth from dark corridors
with heads-up displays and kevlar armor
and they’ll block all the exits
and then order you to disperse
what’s a person? if not a heat signature?
blue at the edges
red at the center
a cloud that dissolves when enough force is administered

i don’t know anything except whose side i’m on

back in the kennels they filled me with protein
they showed me your picture
they told me you’d hurt me
they trained me to bury my t–th
where they’d meet the least fight
and i thought i was happy to be part of their pack
to feel that roiling black chitinous m-ss at my back
to keep them from harm
to make straight their path
but now i see that wildness should have occurred to me
earlier and more frequently. see me
bolt towards the tree line trailing my lead

i don’t know anything except whose side i’m on

a sharp rap on a marble counter
a dull thud on a marble floor
and you know tomorrow you’re gonna be sore
one hand placates, the other digs in —
you can see it rummage around under your skin
if it finds what it’s looking for maybe they’ll
let you go home
but you appreciate the impulse to obscure
when you’re trapped between the pitbulls
and the pure:
so many t–th, so many t–th, so many t–th

i don’t know anything except whose side i’m on
