Every day we send another million
Letters to the stars
Meaning them for one another
Always so surprised how far

All our light and sound can travel
Our radio and TV
Every day we throw another million
Bottles in the sea

Will the others read our messages
And learn about our ways?
Will they know us in the night?
Will they seek us in the day?

Do they go about their lives
Without curiosity
Never looking in the bottles they find
Floating in the sea?

Or perhaps they have already found
Our pretty little sphere
Maybe they already know
Maybe they're already here

For sometimes we send out letters
Hoping they will find and read
We have shown them the whole world
In a dandelion seed

Even if they never find us
Even if they cannot read
They will understand one thing about us:
Curiosity

Even if we never find them
Listening among the stars
We'll never stop sending messages
For that is who we are.

In 3D
I stand behind a tree
In 2D
The tree is a part of me
In 1D
There is nowhere else to be
In 4D
What else would I see?

I look up at the sky and I see stars
They look almost as dizzy as I feel
For thousands of years they showed us the way
The sky has changed, the world has turned the wheel
Into an open circle slowly walks
The one who brings the number to thirteen
A bridge over a river in the sky
The starry serpent and who stands between
But it was much easier to divide
In halves and thirds and fourths, by six and three
When there were twelve instead of a number
Whose only factors are one and thirteen
I wonder how much this will change our world
And in how many small and subtle ways
We will learn something of our unity
And of our individuality

The Peacock and the Necromancer
Dance upon the sky
Their light lives on beyond the stars
The thousand staring eyes

We show them where to find us
From Bridgeport to Camelot
We tell them our dark secrets
And we send them our bright thoughts

We flash our golden feathers
And we sing our pretty words
So they will see us, notice us
So that we can be heard

When every other edifice
And evidence is gone
They walk the dark ahead of us
Where our song shall play on

The flower says Sun shine on me
Says drink my nectar to the bee
The bee says Queen I will be true
You are my sisters
I love you

She dances to illuminate
To help her sisters find the way
They follow her to find the feast
The Sun says I am in the East

The Sun says here you find the nectar
Shines on the tiny collectors
Bright enough for us to find
A rainbow filled with fine dark lines

The Sun says I am hydrogen
And helium and other things
The Sun says Earth stay close by me
As we fly through our galaxy

The Sun says I am in the West
She burns inside her fiery nest
The darkness comes down from afar
So deep, so dark, so full of stars

The stars say you are looking West
You're this far North, no more, no less
The stars say it is 10 PM
The stars say it is almost spring

The stars say we are hydrogen
And other things so deep within
So many things that every part
Of everyone is made of stars

The Moon says Earth I hold to you
In day and night forever true
Deep fire and ocean dance the tide
Whispers to woman deep inside

The woman feels the cosmic song
She dances in it all night long
The beauty of the endless sky
Blooms like a flower in her eyes

So deep below, so deep above
She reaches out and feels their love
So infinite and yet so small
She whispers back
I love you all

If evil is
The default state
Then good is only
A byproduct
Of evil
Which life
Works
To create

I know you think about it
Every day
I wish that I could chase your
Demons away
But who would I be
Enamored of?
Your shadow is
The one I love

The things you try to  
Sublimate
I find very easy
To relate
Your shadow self
Has such a hold
Over your heart
And both our souls

You say: let's move the embassy
It isn't a big deal to me
It translates to a lot of press
I'll show the world that I'm the best

I'll show them I can dominate
One domino, a piece of cake
A bigger slice of the same pie
The kind of wealth that you can't buy

One domino, a little thing
What's that? I wasn't listening
You said that this was complicated
Overthought is overrated

But if you move one domino
You don't know how far it will go
If they are close enough together
Dominoes will fall forever

he drats and tolchocks till he viddies the
malenky merzky grazhny grazzy nazz
and shives from guttiwuts to gulliver
the poogly plenny all razrez razrez

tree cheenas itty up to govoreet
with dva vecks when the bolshy britva's done
one slooshies slovos without shilarny
the other skorry sobirats each one

prestoopniks plot, chelloveck and ptitsa
crast dva nozhes, tolchock the collocol
the ptitsa privodeets pyahnitsas
with krovvy on her rookers after all

glazzy for glazzy, zooby for zooby
to oobivat prestoopniks nadmenny
the rozz becomes so deep steeped in krovvy
he goes o'er a prestoopnik, a plenny

the zheena's sneeting cheesting nachinats
jeezny and krovvy are so dorogoy
a veck can kopet but cannot kupet
to crast brings britva, bitva, doubtful joy

A dragon deep inside, it's true
I know you are a dragon too
And when we do what dragons do
I feel that savage part of you

All woven up in twisted seam
Waiting in darkness deep, unseen
So civilized, that's how we seem
But we are dragons when we dream
