Evil

from Pareidolia by Bob Gaulke

/

lyrics

I leave the evil at work
Where I’m protected by a suit
Sometimes I cut it into bits
And spread it on my food

I wish it on someone else
Someone I don’t know
On weekends
I take it home

Putting on a mask
Letting you beat it out of me
Flying it in the air
On the end of a string

Leaving it in the car
It can be recycled
Sending it into space
To the martians

Hopefully it’s not too late
Our children will face it
We could always find
Something to replace it

You can find me
Completely naked
Thinking about
How it works

I wake up wanting things
I wake up feeling empty
I dream my opinions
Count for something

Thoughts cloud my daytime
Agitating desires
How I measure my life
What I do with my time
