Parasites (17 in 2099)

from Pollen Poisoning by Matted Grass

/

lyrics

mosquitoes whine
and black flies bite.
leeches prowl in the slime.
so seal your home and seal it tight.
this place is crawling with parasites.

mama’s sad.
she cries all day.
says, “it was not always this way,”
moaning, “son, your poor face,”
but earth is no place for the vain.

you get used to things trying to drain your blood.

to drain your blood.

the old:
they are carriers of the disease
of memory.
the young:
we steer clear.
we won’t be digging our graves here.

mosquitoes whine
and black flies bite.
leeches prowl in the slime.
so seal your home and seal it tight.
this place is crawling with parasites:
they pray the earth will be remade,
but they’re the ones who destroyed this place.
experts say our future’s great
but i can’t wait to evacuate.
