Mutual Roadkill

My mouth and throat cemented shut
 The grit on my teeth coats my gut
 These webs
 These cracks
 These parts
 My home
 We've all had a life and I am no exception
 Born and lived and died
 And you are no exception
 But from the dirt I see
 The progress of technology
 Wrapped in my cocoon of roots
 Tombstone signed by the hands of dead children
 My mouth and throat cemented shut
 The grit on my teeth coats my gut
 I need not be released
 Just understand when you walk over me
 What hides beneath your sidewalk
 And writes not in doodles but cryptic predictions
 With a body made from white chalk
 That preys upon your fearless admissions?
 I'm pushing out
 I'm breaking free
 Can you hear my
 Fingertips scratching
 In the night
 I'm only right outside
 In the night
 Right outside
 My mouth and throat cemented shut
 The grit on my teeth coats my gut
 What hides beneath your sidewalk
 And writes not in doodles but cryptic predictions
 With a body made from white chalk
 That preys upon your fearless admissions?
 Look me in the eyes
 This smile is not for you
 Permanent
 One day you'll wear it too
