Pieta

Baptized in the shallow end

Of a Holiday Inn

Limbs dangled over my Pa

Like an inverse PietaMother Nature cried

"You are Leviathan, my child

You are Leviathan inside"And my lungs runneth over

With chlorinated water

And I pleaded with my Pa

But he said, “I can’t carry you no more”Mother Nature cried

"You are Leviathan, my child

You are Leviathan Inside"Mother Nature sighed

“What hell is this I made this time?

You are Leviathan inside”Can I make a pet of you?

Dress you up for all the girls

Will I keep you begging now

Or touch you with my gentle words?Mother Nature cried

“You are leviathan, my child

You are Leviathan inside”Mother Nature sighed

“What hell is this I made this time?

You are Leviathan inside”
