Body of Worry - Kiran Leonard

Morgan is sick to his stomach

The ulcers have spread

Bedridden, yet ceaselessly waking

He rambles, he often forgets things

Perilous and exhausted

A shivering wire in the wind

Victor’s not clean, not been himself lately

A payment’s been missed

And his kidneys have kept him from writing

Fixated, he’s constantly fighting

A catalogue of injustice

The hints of a song disappearing

In crimson pools

Joseph’s got tumours from stress and Eliza

Is not eating well

Mel’s trying;

Jon’s better, but h still cannot work

The world conspires to kill us

The horror of ndless folly

Tracing a line on our bodies
