Until

My insides are swollen

Bursting at the seams

With the world’s

Most fearsome song

Until I have my fill

Of trolley car anthems

Brimmed

With heartless passersby

Until my eardrums

Quake from the throes

Of bygone

Thundering ghosts

Until the agony

Prevails, over all

I’ll siphon the world

And its crude

And callous resolve
