A Band-Aid

There's a huge hole here
Where there used to be two
United in a union
Fusing together
To catch all the bad
That might want to come in

But now there's just a hole
There's a hole and nothing's
Stopping anything
From passing through it
Do it a favor
And climb right into it
See if you can find out
How it opened up
In the first place

But no, I guess
No, you don't
You don't want to

You just want to
Put a band-aid on it
See if it sticks
Dick around with it
And teach it some new tricks

You want a small solution
To a universal problem
You want a nice word
To mend the absurd wound
We're dealing with
To cover it with a smiley face
Or a compliment

Well go ahead, kid
Put a band-aid on it
See if it sticks
