a dual tone on the wall
the selfless fool who hoped he’d save us all
never dreamt of such sterile hands.
you keep them folded in your lap,
or raise them up to beg for scraps,
you know he's holding you down
with the tips of his fingers just the same.
will you be pulled from the ocean,
but just a minute too late,
or changed by a potion,
and find a handsome young mate
for you to love.
