Small Town Internet Ritual

I'll come in a spectre, silently, 
pervade the woods.  They'll see
me at their jobs, sometimes 

[Put the gun in my hand.]

out at the bar--no fag for miles,
I'll be in the cracks of the Internet, 
Waiting to collect & be adored. 

[Put the gun in my hand.]

The rural fog of unfamiliarity
will cloak me, boys walking in the woods. 
The grinding machines & their smokestacks

[Put the gun in my hand.] 

muffle our moans, theirs confused & mine elsewhere.
