clarification: to keep devils away
we need an apotropaic device
or incantation
or incantation
but it is quite clear
we've got nothing
we've got nothing
they breed out of the air
like maggots they cling to life
out of dung they build their nest
right in your head, and starting out from there
lay their eggs at the root of your tongue
infest your ear
co-opt your lung for speeches of any length
when they speak they saw and cut
co-opt your lung for speeches of any length
when they speak they saw and cut
all sweet sessions of silent thought
they quite digest
they quite digest
and in this wise usurp your portion
your body is their killing floor
your mind is their abortion
unless we can think of something
