the flesh covers the bone 

       and they put a mind 

       in there and 

       sometimes a soul, 

       and the women break 

       vases against the walls 

       and the men drink too 

       much 

       and nobody finds the 

       one 

       but keep 

       looking 

       crawling in and out 

       of beds. 

       flesh covers 

       the bone and the 

       flesh searches 

       for more than 

       flesh. 

       
       there's no chance 

       at all: 

       we are all trapped 

       by a singular 

       fate. 

       

       nobody ever finds 

       the one. 

       

       the city dumps fill 

       the junkyards fill 

       the madhouses fill 

       the hospitals fill 

       the graveyards fill 

       

       nothing else 

       fills.
