You were not the first to arrive,
and will not be the last to survive,
as the pigs and the oxen we bound to the wheel

tear it
A
off, tear it off!
You
Em
are not the last of this house,
or the first to go over the side.
Remember the wrecks of those elegant ships-
“Turn it
A
off! Turn it off!”
No. Look with
C
century
G
eyes till they
D
make you go
Em
blind.

Em
Galloping into the void,
you are rolling your eyes like a horse,
all to turn from the beam, from the eye of that screen.
“Turn it
A
off! Turn it off!
With our
C
backs to the
G
arch and the
D
wreck of our
Em
kind,
we will
C
stare straight a
G
head for the
D
rest of our
Em
lives!”
