I'd be Submarine [Instrument 1]

Hell shimmies when I am blunted ;

When I take a knock to the senses

When I am skinless,

singing stings

and misdirected by pain

 

If I had trained better

I'd be deep sea

Sussing distant messages

Operating with slight tremors, vocals and movement

and only when correct...

I'd be home

I'd be instrument

 

Not an act

Not a pet to society

No mood fool ;

flaked,

flooded

and littered

Rapped at by experiences

Attack reacting

An embarrassment

Watching my own pattern spooling

the same sums

and spoiling with repetition
