FIREMAN SISTER
Sitting out on your house
Watching the trucks arrive silently
(Earplugs) it's light as night
When the eclipse flips the switch
And the Halloween costumes
Come out of escrow
Every machine has a beak
You want to spray but it's not your role
You want to plead with the animation
But the tar burbles uneventfully
Three thousand miles away
And in this context you take the job
The way other kids take their parents' religion
You can say with absolute certainty
That you're on the take
And a hero at the same time
A heroine on the first day of herons
It's snow emitting that particle noise
