Inspired by the Rare Americans song, Milk Man

Howling for the sake

Not to talk or to take

But to feel a bit of soul flow

Free from the column and row

Of the spreadsheets that say

No, you must play this play

Act the act

Form this pack, this pact

Want _this_ that, not _that_

Howl not for regret or nostalgia

Or to get the lines meant for ya

But to be present

For one second

Your mind a mile a minute but you just can't help it

So you sit with your head up to the sky and you use it

Forget the shit

Nothing to do but face the fact

That nothing ever gets to last

That this too shall pass.

  

You an' your lazy ass

What the fuck, just get it right, right?

That's what _they_ think, in all their might

But what they don't get

Is there ain't no prophet

To tell dry from sopping wet

To tell God from wolf from pet--

To tell when you're your own net,

That you're your own _they_

The straw-man made from clay.

  

A howl is instinctual.

Its meaning miniscule.

But ultimately you gotta laugh.

Because the howl's all you have.
