when the snake & the sycophant sing
when you feel their bile in your brain
when their gravity well steals your future
their happy song
seeds your anxiety
with more anxiety
when babies become the enemies of god
when laying of hands makes more zombies
when downward dog summons demons
their pious song
seeds your anxiety
with more anxiety
when they lash the journey to your back
when the road outlasts the marathon
when you realise their song will end you
their fascist song
seeds your anxiety
with more anxiety
