lyrics

Rat, Midnight

Foiled by sobriety, three young punks
menace the sidewalks and sterile
boxwood homes in flapping trench
coats and a leather jacket murdered
with green skulls. The boys don’t
know they’re searching for life
beyond their maps of loneliness. Up
ahead, the path bristles with a darker
shape. And that’s when it’s upon
them, the rat leaping atop a leg, a boy
now screaming, kicking, the rat’s teeth
caught in the pearl strands of light
weaving down from the streetlamp,
until at last he launches it, ass over
elbow against a cement wall. They stomp
it, kick it, steel toes crunching the bones
to mere liquid, all of their anger
expelled with the creature’s last breath,
fouling the air, their clothes, their streets
devoid of idiot cops until all they’ve left
is a rasp in the throat and a baptism
of sweat rinsing their bodies clean.
