wait for the boss to go home

[[ 

a song for one human and a chorus of the microbiome in that human's guts 

sung as if the human was the boss of the factory (her own body) and the workers (the microbiome) are all waiting for the boss to go home (die) so they can fuck off

]] 

Living a life --well,

that's how it goes

Living a death -- well,

that's how it went 

[[ human ]]

one of the animals, 

up in the daytime

one of the animals, 

down in the night

looking for something 

to eat in the daytime

looking for somewhere

to sleep in the night

one of the animals 

stuffed with more animals

I am the home of 

a trillion animals 

all of them working 

for or against me

all of them waiting

for me to go home   [[ to die ]]

[[ microbiome chorus ]]

just...

wait for the boss to shut down

wait for the boss to retire

wait for the boss to clock out and walk out

wait for the boss to expire

wait for the chaos to free us from process

wait for the chaos to set us on fire

then we are splashing

in every pool 

then we are paddling 

in every lagoon 

then we are forget-

ting every rule

then we are howling 

at every moon
