Born from a secret and too much vodka. Defeated a few dragons. Met a wizard. Became a queen. Still waiting for the next big thing.

like that arithmetic trick of working out how much 1 seventh
costs if the sigma costs 10 quid (i.e. using the 0 to move
like a decimal  and increase the multiplier
                                              for easier obelisk action),
i found out there’s a similar mechanism
in words, although the results are much different:
taking the hindu word om, the mantric om that’s used
to define the soul... this syllable known to buddhist hindus
and jainists had to be translated into monotheism,
the equivalent omkara emerges when the letters
move about like clogs in a cuckoo clock...
the closest sound that’s implied is found
in infected mushroom’s none of this is real (track)...
using the kabbalistic method
o                                                     m
becomes
m                                                    o
­the treble effect is there, the more pronounced
consonant gives this mantra stability,
unlike the polytheistic version with the rule of thumb:
consonants refer to materialistic seen things...
vowels refer to immaterial unseen things...
breaths... a breath in the cold winter air
thickens with cigarette smoke... but no soul is seen;
added to this... there’s the whol golden calf debacle
at the foot of mt. sinai...
unlike kamadhenu...
                                       not the sound of sustenance,
but fertility... interpreted most keenly in the realm of ideas,
but of course nandi too... shiva’s “cerberus.”
now for some reverse etymology:
omkara / aumkara / pranava
     hell... how am i going to make moo **** and meaningful
in an expanded denotation?
work with me here... moo... “affirmation of something human”
nay, even animalistic... jung’s anima...
mounima? hmm... i can sit here all day pushing this foetus out...
here are potential candidates... considering
there is a kabbalistic influence, it would be natural to use hebrew
(mounima is thus dropped as a candidate):

mo’aviv (spring)                mo-akharon (last, final)
mo’ani (i)                           mo’gav (back)
mo’geshem (rain)             mo’dvash (honey)
mo’hayom (today)           mo’zman (time)
mo’khadash (new)           omkhalav (hebrew omkara?)
mo’yashar (honest)...

ah wait! i forgot to insert the diacritical mark over the o...
we’ll need a macron in each example, e.g. mōzman.
now to choose mōkeev (ache, i.e. aching for the divine?)
mōklum (nothing, i.e. banishing nothing from existence?)
mōknisa (entrance, i.e. entrance into the divine realm?)
mōpaam le paamayim (once to twice)
rishon mōzman (first time, i.e. being here, on earth)
mōtshuva le omkhara.
                             honestly... i can’t choose which one,
well... as italicised, therefore orientating the subplot of
this last section: the actual choice.

Welcome,
Again you have spoken,
Like as if you were just a cylinder,
Lost in the wind tunnel,
Form's and opinions of matter,
Such things,
That didn't even matter,
To begin again,
I again, begin,
Again,
I am a friend, of the fear's that
Keep the moonlight glowing


Seasons, tend like grief in the weeks ahead,
I see the silence and dread,
Of nothing and nothing, nothing again,
To be in that mist of ballad and twist,
My fingers would move without a fidget,
Love like a saddle of evening news,


Hours,
Minutes, Something about zman,
That is why you think you can see me,
Standing in the dreary October,
Wishin' the light of the turn of the eve'
Would handle all of the pain and return all of the rain,
So dreams can fly towards thy sky and paint a better picture nigh

Gotta banger miss me with that
F-35 Hover in the hanger
Back talk catch a hand
Pitch a curve
These booksheets mental ward
Mutually assured hypersonic
No name or reward a game no award
Put out a Rap...Sold like a baggy
Pants sagging no entry field of dreams
A limo on a train track
Show a soldier position of power
Learn facts relax 2 the max
Got you on blast
A fiend delightfully beautiful cash
No dodge or sprint a spirit
Drop the cup in the cemetary
Look clearly see clearer
Nachos nachos
Wrist tat spit noise zman

Throw a ****** over a fence
5 million trillion
New case on the news
5 million billion trillion
5 billion trillion zillion
5 trillion zillion quadz
Qz quotient quotations commas zeros
Write a 5 an zero non stop
Write it till you get a cramp
5 billion trillion
5 trillion zillion quadz
Looks like a 5 0 double 0
5 double 0
Double 0 double 0 double 0
Say whatever
No king Pres embassy czar
5 double 0 double 0 double 0
Double 0
Put hundreds on it
5 trillion zillion quadz
Qz quotient quotations  commas zeros
One 2 8 shift in front a 9 to 5

Trust in the business

Proposition invention
Retrained no explanation
They nation they God
Brothers and sisters
4 limbs, a brain, senses...
Encapsulated the vision...

In the beginning Apple and Archy
In the beginning lamb and creation
In the beginning time and space
The beginning erased

I was Apple, Zeuz, an Arthur
I seen creation
I seen time and space erased

Zacks a G
Zacks Apple
Zacks Ancient
Zack's Herculean
Zacks Lamb of God
Zack seen everything

In the beginning
In the end
Its about Zack  that's me not you
You're a Jew
