  • The Manatee

    we're riding in the multiverse

    thru a wormhole in space 

       nothingness is all i see

       darkness lost in a vibrant dream

     

    my eyes are blind my hands are blue

    and my heart has long stopped

       i become immortality

       in the center of a Manatee

     

    the magic of its armor protects

    me from death of all life

       in the middle of its belly cocooned

       growing to the size of a thousand moons

     

    are the questions that i ponder

    lost in this laughing skull

       the galaxy harbors no answers at all

     

    where will he take me and how long 

    will i wait

       my memory explodes into a thousand fates

     

    the red tide is rolling in

    and the end is all fog

       i can feel myself being born

       into the nothing of all

     

     we just exist

     

    nothing

    can stop it

    nothing will,

    nothing will

     

    nothing

    can stop it

    nothing will be

    nothing can

    stop

    manatee

     

    we just exist

     

     ----------------------------

    the segment is always side ways no matter the view

    you can burn it, fix it, burn it, fix it, thru & thru

    while coasting by the megalomanic manatee

    we become the century's shadow of our poverty

    it diagrams these entries, mutations and codes

    while we watch the greedy squid flicker, fizzle, implode

    i'm living in the ashes of your empire's dawn

    just open up your gullets and devour the pawns

     

    we just exist

     

    the reason

    to exist

    is to exert

    and be

    one

    our feelings

    should be mutually defined

    by the need for progress

     

    if we turn our backs on the ambers and the signs

    then it's an indentured purpose

     

    so our values

    for the emotional malign

    and truth is forever skirted

     

    if we wade our way through the forest

    of leafy pines,

    we witness resurgence
