Tension Makes A Tangle

[ music: john lombardo/lyric: natalie merchant ]
As frail hinges
Pivot on a cases door
Commemorative
Souvenirs from places
Containers change
With each occasion
A cellophane encased
Display of paper
Certificate
To credit years of service
A tool of central enterprises
The early hope
For permanence
The words
The rings
Consistency
The social security
A miracle is high tragedy
Thought mistaken
For a memory
Clear the dust from
Smiles in boxes
Pass a patterned wall
Recall their voices
A local post
Will list your friends
In order of
Disappearance
The lawn scattered
Tins feed birds
A portion baked for
Absent guests
And the mass edition icon
God sent comfort
Your salvation
But who grants absolution
For sins that
Never were committed
Tension makes a tangle
Of each thought
Becomes an inconvenience
Sound as it never penetrates
As servile edges
Break and
Feint
Thought mistaken
For a memory
A dress length
Assassination
A fractured family tie
Another christening
Christening
Christening
Christening
