Beast of Burden (Take a Walk) - Attrition

I got up

Stood up

Took a walk

Past the carpet

Past the wall

Through the door

Into the hall

Afraid of the animal

A boy ran screaming to the car

The father looked on from afar

A woman pulled her child aside

I nearly died

I sat down

Lay down

Heard a sound

I swam around

On the wall

On the door

Into the hall

Afraid of the animal

I met a priest without a head

I met two missionaries, now they’re dead

I met Christ at a crossroad

I nearly died there
