A behavior experiment
(oh so sly)
Watching me
(up there on high)
Manipulating events
(for me to try)
Like God and Satan
with a one dollar bet.
Wondering if I’ll stumble, or better yet,
Disown my view of right
And drift directionless for spite.
Fling me from the tallest tree
Don’t worry ‘bout abusing me.
Hang my entrails from your door
Just make sure you clean the floor.
Bury me up to my neck
And watch me burn up from your deck.
Cactus blooms a spiky hat
Five of nine lives equals that,
Pierce my flesh and catch the blood,
Pack the open wound with mud,
Starve me of my food and drink,
Til I’m skin and bones I think,
Rearrange my insides out
Scourge me all for science, lout.
Tell me I am a worthless mess
Job was a guinea pig too, I guess.
