Carefree Days



Bacteria played in his lungs

Fertile grounds for their sons
The son's swam in bronchial reefs.
Beating each other with bamboo sticks.

Bacteria played in his lungs.
How they seduced that poor
little body.
Blurred the light from soul.
Plucking and cutting at the
healthy veins.

Bacteria played in his lungs.
Their language used a secret grammar.
Their occult rituals, hardly chaste.
Poof! their goes the body
combusted and charred
Success tastes so sweet.
They cried.

Bacteria played in his lungs.
