Ilk from JTB by John Bickel

I'm still trying to find my ilk
among the pictures and postcards, the fractures and the fricassee, baby
warp and weft a woven silk
I'd fall in through the fabric and disappear forever, babe

And say, "what would you do for me?"
then I could say, "What can you do for me?"
but then I'd ask, "What can you do for me?"

I'm still trying to find my ilk
among the picture people postcards, all the fractures and the fricassee
I'd be a line in a curve, all an arc in a circle
that could circulate forever, baby

And say, "what would you do for me?"
then I could say, "What can you do for me?"
but then I'd ask, "What can you do for me?"

All your feats and your fights, are you everything you wanted to be?
the roll of the dice you'd find everything you wanted to
finest feats and your fights, are you everything you wanted to be?
the roll of the dice you'd find everything you wanted to...
