I almost forgot you

i almost forgot you,
in the mad rush of who

waiting calmly by the well
wanting to calm my hell

i am well
i did yell

and so i remembered you
and then wanted to sue

wanted to sue for defamation
assassination
undue delay
non implementation
impunious acts
ignominy
corruption
adulteration

yes!
i wanted to sue.

but i could not
where is the court that you could not adulterate
where is the judge that you could not corrupt
where is the lawyer that you could not pay off
where is the witness that you could not assassinate
where is the file that you could not disappear
where is the law that you could not repeal
where is the case that you could not nolle proseque

so i forgot you, almost

but my memory has broken the dams
and as the angry waters flood the farms

i wait in bated breath

for you are in the waters
riding with the shivers

coming coming coming

i am the fisherman
and i know your appetite for bloody meat

the hook that will send you to the sunshine
is well hidden under the flesh of a bovine

i am waiting to forget you!
