politic me boy

politic me boy
whisper-drag the burn of a fire you didn't arson
blow me out like smoke, nurse the evidence
frame as accident
or ignorance
as if the institution wasn't built as pyre
as if the builders didn't know better
as if the architects weren't your blood
fireman scum
save your sirens for a sleeping city
i am awake to your addiction to steam
in a world where people are 60% water
