lyrics

The worms are dying. Why are they are scattered on the pavement, like a broken jigsaw puzzle?

They are bloated.
They are pink like the corners of eyes.

Tragic and repulsive,
They writhe, and wriggle, and knot-
Great and terrible knots-
On the glossy, gray pavement.

We have left the hose on too long,
And now, the worms are dying.

Their brown faces...
Are crinkled like crushed oilcans,
And weeping fiercely,
But they haven't any eyes...
Or legs.

They are screaming.
The work... screaming.
And this is the place where some of the worms had withdrawn to die.

We are people!
We are people!

Their screams are inaudible.
