No Edge

one day there won't be an edge kids just a hole in the ground for the suicidal do a bacteria count of your spring water while tossing down a few useless conventions why do anachronisms live so long die so hard and cause no embarrassment he mused musing had become his compulsion since the holy ghost serpent handling incident their medicine man pronounced him dead 7 times his own ancestors sent crows to peck out his eyes the fortune cookie antidote worked off and on then hell ascended under his smoking feet their vanguard toes now on fire one thing is sure in the lust for truth contemplation will not buy you serenity but yes your life can be lived without a prison cell oath of allegiance if the universe demonstrates intention we’re it the battle between sequence and simultaneity may be good for another 10 squared generations in this hypnotist hunch monger demolition derby where a legendary and enormous ignorance complicates matters for no apparent reason well maybe for the following reason all explanations have been oversimplified in a panorama of benign efficiency arise you yuppies and management level trainees you have all the tools of cognition you will ever need right in your head every act begins with an estimate let's put Humpty back together again feel relevant that's all there is to it since a monopoly on endless pleasure is yet to be fully achieved and moreover the Great War in Heaven is officially boring and furthermore the iris is a sphincter just thought you'd like to know sorry a lung obstruction makes my voice whistle one fucking homophone after another making the undead radar in on me my wings have been clipped so many times they fall off at the sound of grinding teeth thanks to the dogs of innuendo and pantomime we anthropomorphize absolutely everything no beanstalks on the horizon he noted just a marsupial orphan with an Aladdin's lamp charmed into the gesticulating arms of Venus by the secret patty cake handshake then a magic thing happened there is no magic only unknowing
