lyrics

3) when Gladius was a kid-boy here is what he did. warts. why would everything look so ugly to even a little boy-him? him a mannish boy. man-boy. warts. cradling the world there in his clear-empty hands. clear as there at that clear precipice over there at the end a’ him-history. there. warty hands. man-boy.

gladius you’re a wicked man. you locked sissy in the freezer with the meat. you wanted to make sissy blue again like when she came out of momma’s belly choking on umbilical, your blue angel just for you. your momma couldn’t look at you again. your daddy took three fingers in the wood shed and told her bout the “accident.” you liked to dig a pencil in the sore spot. you liked it when it turned blue, maybe she kissed you? maybe she still sees you; maybe she’s still with you, your blue angel, just for you. oh draino anew. this is the real of your emptying. a holy hold up. nothing. and we don’t know If? What? This was? because of you
