Incident At White Hen - Daniel Knox

In your pocket

Or the bedroom

Or the place you’d rather be

From the backyard

Through a window

Tell me who you see

When all you want is more

They’ll ask you what it’s for

Again

It shoots one in the sky

It puts one in the ground

They’ll stick one in your eye

Or the fortune you found

It takes one from the back

Then puts two in a row

It’s someone you trust

It’s a person you know

Then

When you get your turn

Come just to watch it burn

Could you?

How could you?
