Where They'd Have Us

Where they'd have us run
See them darkening and starkening the lines
Twixt citizen and alien
Where they'd have us hide
See them tightening and heightening the walls
Til we can't find the other side
I'd like to think we've got it sussed
To always known to never go
To the places they'd have us
Where they'd have us swim
See them muddying the waters
So we cannot see the shallowness therein

Say you've sought therapy
You claim you will refrain
But your non-apology
Won't end your victims' pain
No change, no difference made
In the motions you go through
The terms of your parole
Were never up to you
You broke through the surface of
A muddy Ohio
Baptized by a crumbling bank
You said you'd sin no more
No change, no difference made
In the motions you go through
The terms of your parole
Were never up to you
Crawl back to say you'll pay it forward
You're sloughing toward
Kentucky doesn't need a savior
No time off for good behavior
They say my friend is dead
But I don't give a fuck
He's a punch-drunk pugilist
No more to dive and duck
No change, no difference made
In the motions you go through
The terms of your parole
Were never up to you

Dinosaur Dan
Palm-tall, ancient friend
Present but for a comet unkind
An evergreen of
Hidebound old love
Restless spark in the crackling pines
And he left us a cretaceous, crater-sized
Footprint behind
His roar will resound
Until he comes back around
For to stamp out this terra in kind

Worker and parasite
Frozen in anthracite half the day
Sometimes I might
Catch a trick of the light
When it's beating back the shade
But every time
Is too far between to mention
Should I spare mine?
There's no struggle quite like
Your fight for attention
Forever new
Wear your dichotomy
Like a stranger's charm
But there's no mystery
Well, at least none to me
When it spills into self-harm
But I'm not done
Though each self-preserving instinct
Is screaming "run"
There's no worthier graft
Than the craft of rebuilding
Took a lifetime to learn it
And a half-minute to burn it down
Magnets and their opposites
Share half the blame
Worker and parasite
One and the same

J. Marinelli Morgantown, West Virginia
J. Marinelli is a one man band like no other. The sound and fury that emotes from his haunting Appalachian echoed yowl falls
somewhere between Guided By Voices, a lost mountain troubadour and a classic 70’s punk outfit from your dreams.
