I'm an accident, they say A few strands short of DNA And while I humbly stumble They buzz and hop and bumble Right outside my dark window They zap, evap, and kindle Ideas seep through my pores, unspoiled That's when they spray their engine oil And I liken it to sharp stained glass This haystack fervor of being trapped But I'm no rose petal, no son, no saint In a world that sees the colors for the paint And there's a thin crack running through my back But I can't break without some contact Till then, I bend, deflect, retract A monstrous truth in their house of facts
