Quietly, we stand where we are
Agape
You peer into each mouth
Without any hands
You pull our jaws to the side
Push us down where we stand
You can't punish us
Or teach us to say please
When you ask us each name
The exchange is filled with greed
But our faces are blank
And our minds are at peace
You'd like us to grow up
We never cease
Unbroken
Are the words you have spoken
Trickle down our spines
Unlike the twine
Wrapped around our feet
We like to be keeped
But you've shown us
Only what is
In this creasing suit and tie
That you wear in your sleep
You've shown us only what is
And nothing to keep
