bring in the old throw it down upon myself topple it turn it up and over over the older churning to be one it has been done with it has had its way with it and it tumbles i as a toddler looked on from wooden construction and it was romantic i looked on and saw how things come to pass and the toddler in my eyes it was me becoming older preparing myself to be delved over throw me in then on the other side of the creek there was a hill the landfill and my family went first they were older than me in the eyes of god shining and it grows the landfill becomes larger and i discarded i wait for metal teeth to turn me over too to take me to the place i saw way back then there is no difference but it seems like there is some time left to be used so i spread my arms wide before i am spat out use me well i give you myself now it comes full circle i am one with my ancestors one of my girls told me i want to get away from your fucked up genetics my green eyes shine i am sorry that they could ever be so foul use me and then make me one
