Still on the air, racing through hyperspace. Racing toward the ultimate, dashing for the übermensch within, the perfect human being, outliving the greasy machinery of our collective existential crises. Trudging down the proverbial road in swinish runs back and forth Collecting the critical fragments of out minds from the bowels of life's desert, only to find that they have gotten perverted with the rank rot of maggots, festering, crawling through the remains that were left from our conception and subsequent birth, poorly mummified. But alas, too many millenniums have past. Too many millenniums. Too many. As we search between the cacti, avoiding the venomous bite of the rattlesnake, battling the heat, our wristlet watches tick. Tick, tick, tick away with the unfair certainty that the watch will keep ticking through the arbitration of time. Through the arbitration of the flexible human condition, surrounded by the deafening stasis of the world. The deafening tick, mocking our decay, celebrating its own infinity.

Machine Survives the Man
Still on the air, racing through hyperspace. Racing toward the ultimate, dashing for the übermensch within, the perfect human being, outliving the greasy machinery of our collective existential crises. Trudging down the proverbial road in swinish runs back and forth Collecting the critical fragments of out minds from the bowels of life's desert, only to find that they have gotten perverted with the rank rot of maggots, festering, crawling through the remains that were left from our conception and subsequent birth, poorly mummified. But alas, too many millenniums have past. Too many millenniums. Too many. As we search between the cacti, avoiding the venomous bite of the rattlesnake, battling the heat, our wristlet watches tick. Tick, tick, tick away with the unfair certainty that the watch will keep ticking through the arbitration of time. Through the arbitration of the flexible human condition, surrounded by the deafening stasis of the world. The deafening tick, mocking our decay, celebrating its own infinity.
