Pieta

Baptized in the shallow end Of a Holiday Inn Limbs dangled over my Pa Like an inverse Pietà

Mother Nature cried "You are Leviathan, my child You are Leviathan inside"

And my lungs runneth over With chlorinated water And I pleaded with my Pa But he said, “I can't carry you no more”

Mother Nature cried "You are Leviathan, my child You are Leviathan inside"

Mother Nature sighed “What hell is this I made this time? You are Leviathan in size”

Can I make a pet of you? Dress you up for all the girls Will I keep you begging now? Or touch you with my gentle words?

Mother Nature cried “You are leviathan, my child You are Leviathan inside”

Mother Nature sighed “What hell is this I made this time? You are Leviathan in size”
