lyrics

Muzzled, Maddened

Your camera eyes,
my typewriter mouth...
It’d finally happened:
I was stifled and gagged.
The Old Guard’d bound my maw up

with all that indirection
and pissing where we drink.

And it burned on the tip of my tongue
as I tried to look in all directions at once.
There was so much that I had wanted to tell,
but thorny asterisks had blacked me all out.

Hushed and suppressed
amid criers and catamarans,
dotted and dashed,
muzzled, maddened
by the prattle pouring out—

perverse as two facing mirrors—stranded at
sea in a surge of white noise.

And it burned on the tip of my tongue
as I tried to carve out a new idiom.
There was so much that I had wanted to tell,
but dead translation was impossible.

I’ll hum a trammeled lament,
broadcast it any way I can.
