impermanence casts its shadow
i am sworn to complete
this impossible mission
a competition between
infinite beings
sitting in a room
sending visions from a distance
the listeners agree
we are free to try anything
as long as it doesnΚΌt alter
free will or destiny
if you let me show you
iΚΌll give you a taste of your own medicine
selected from feathers and falling leaves
breath agrees with bone
and form is hollow
mnemonic agents whisper agendas into fields of green
lavender beings sweep the streets and perform feats of beauty rarely seen
a true queen the kind of being
you could never miss or look away from
her mysterious face keeps your eyes locked on her features
steals your vision and your attention
systematically
fractally
actually we are welcoming it
ignore our spelling
its incomplete
meaningless really
useless against their weapons
of mass distraction
still the attraction is tangible
and i am an animal
so saddle me
and i'll try to become
a useful member
of the family
