Kito Peters: Music

Centaur

(Kito Peters)
i feel like the before ad
before they gave it up to god
crawling through the big house
living off the pharoah¹s wad

i feel like the bar code
before they sell it secondhand
a portrait of a portrait
living off the lean of the land

you could call me cripple
a hermit on the dole
hiding from the posse
in a well-stocked hole

i feel like a kaftan
watching the white boys fire
praising every memory
feeling my pulse on the wire

you could call me cripple
a hermit on the dole
hiding from the posse
in a well-stocked hole

i feel like a centaur
backed against the stable wall
staring out in silence
waiting on the trumpet call

you could call me cripple
a hermit on the dole
hiding from the posse
in a well-stocked hole
