i need people

people need people
like a sponge for a bed
like a hole in their attic
and a disease of the head
and a burn on their lifestyle
and a turn for the worse
and a failing of gratitude
and a gut split
or vessel burst
or to be drugged in time
or drenched of thirst
it's all people care for
and all they deserve.

i need people
