Select your tribe
Pick your creation story
It matters little which you choose
For after blood and ashes settle
The victors' god is Truth

Build me a temple made of gold
Worship me like gods of old
Promise the oceans and the sea
That you commit, eternally
Serve my needs above all else
Abandon any shred of self
Seal this covenant with a ring
And I will be your everything

Ink and paper are magic
If left to sit
for ages upon ages
They become unquestionable truth

Every night
I strangle the sun
He crumples before me
But every morning
He rises anew

I'm a sprocket
A moving part
Comrade to the common stapler
Wind me up
Punch my card
Money makes a fine enabler

I admire her in silent reverence,
though she doesn't know my name.
Milky skin and graceful curves
will haunt my every day.
She radiates a boundless wonder;
sets my heart ablaze.
Oceans swell in desperation,
longing her embrace.
And when she's fallen, I'm adrift
by daylight's sullen gloom.
No other woman can eclipse
the beauty of the moon.

Every moment is a miracle
A gift from the Creator
Which I capture on my TiVo
Every person is divine
Crafted in His image
That I worship from afar
Every tree a work of art
With its complex inner workings
Or so the textbooks tell me
I can see one from the window in my room

A thousand miles behind my eyes
I gaze upon this world
Through hazy, distant window panes
The shapes and faces swirl
I hear their call, they know my name
I try for a reply
But voice will not return to me
Neither whimper nor a cry

*The fog rolls in
It clouds my mind
Numbs my body
Dulls my senses
Obscures my judgement
And any passing ship
Will surely crash*

We share each other's breath
Stardust one and all
Falling endlessly together
On this humid little ball
A web of beating hearts
Tethered to each other
I love you like myself
But I would end you for a dollar
