we called it a loan so give it back
you got behind on your payments, didn't you
so did I so did I, I did
return to sender became our mantra
who owes whom, you said
we signed no papers
I didn't owe nobody nothing triple negative
we lost count not that we ever counted
on anything
on anything
payments you ask what payments
no cash no credit no receipts
no currency no coin of the realm
and now they're talking repo
as in repo man or woman
as in repossess a heart take it back
as if a heart could be possessed, owned, loaned
in possession of one's faculties
self-possessed
forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors
possession is nine tenths of the law
search and seizure as if possessed
breach the peace
round up your posse
reply by replevin
in other words give back
what never was
the night dawn
before the dew burns off
