Exterminata Beat

Chad Matheny

A termite burrows through a particle board
It's not the strongest, but it's all we could afford
We'll treat it carefully and monitor close
If we see an infestation we'll be sure to do some damage on it

And while I'm at it, friend, I'll write you a note-
Strip off some laminate and give you some hope
I hope you survive this- you likely won't
The crossbeams need some treatment, so we put them under pressure

And they fall away
Beams yield. Boards break
The floor planks vibrate. House shakes

You hit the pound, I'm sure you like it a lot
You peel the paint off the walls 'cause you're afraid to rock
Collecting all the signatures you need to purify your data

It's been awhile since I've seen you this clean, and that disturbs me
I don't know what it means
How far along are you in your pregnancy?

You call his name
But it's your flexing back that's important to the colony's claim
Hold up the shuddering frame
Turn it off, unsupported-
Clear a path with a chemical flame
