Strangest case we ever carried didn't fit the rest
found a man out past the quarry,
chains across his chest
Bone put her hand near him and flinched like she'd touched a
live wire
said "I don't know this frequency — it's not dead,
it's just...
far" (hmmm)
He's still flexing
still chipmunk-pitched and drifting
wrong county, wrong century,
wrong everything
but whatever this is don't care what decade it's visiting
We don't know what town he wandered out of or when
Bone looked as confused as I've ever seen her,
and that's saying something
we recorded him anyway,
same as all the rest
some cases don't make sense — we just carry what's confessed (ahhhh)
He's still flexing
