m0bius

When two dimensions interlock
and twist around themselves they form
a model of a mathematic
thunder, rain, and lightning storm.
It spins around in space and leaves
destruction in it's wake.
You try to break it down,
but only more will you create.

No shape made as powerful
By such a simple mechanism
Infinitely replicating
chains of subatomic prisms.

The laws of physics intertwine
To write your poetry, and your
constructor praises you
and then neglects his diety
Like the universe, you grow into
and ethereal ink
While the blood of man is poisoned
and his soul begins to shrink.

But your hollow form, our savior
arises from the sea
And resides with in our hearts
to guide us for eternity.

Whirling, Twisting
Turning, Spinning,
Running, Bouncing,
Losing, Winning,
Spilling, Breaking,
Halving, Shaking,
Working, Flying,
Living, Dying

Looking through a keyhole
Searching for the final flaw
You boldly dash into the universe
and break it's primal law.
You are the foil to the plot,
and exponential extacy,
a ring of particles of dust
with infinite velocity.

Heaven is Down

Heaven is down
Hell is up.
This is proven by the fact
That the planets and the stars
Are orderly in their movements-
While down on earth,
we come close to the primal chaos.

There are four other proofs,
But I forget them.

The Bean Counter

I count beans, it's all I do
I've done it all my life
And I have dreams that won't come true
No matter how I try

But I can count more beans than you
could ever think there were.
If someone asks me to count beans,
I tell them, "Gladly, sir!"

'Cause I'm just fine counting beans in the meadow
It's a damn big world, and I'm just a little fellow
They say ignorance is bliss, but I probably couldn't tell you
Whether or not what they say is true...

Big beans, small beans, red beans, green beans,
I know every kind.
And there's no bean that I can't count
not one that you could find.

But if you ask me why I count them
I could not tell you why.
But I know I'll be counting beans
Until the day I die.

The Great Spinning Machine of Death

It's a ride
It's a roller coaster inside.

It's a disk,
It's a flying saucer ride.

Just another night at the county fair,
There's a family of ten in line.
Now they've taken their seats and they've paid their fare
But when the shuttle stops, there's nine.

It's a mess
An emergency inside.

It's a lesson
In the delicassy of life.

It's a morbid kind
of birthday party surprise.

There's an ambulance at the carnival,
It's a warm september night.
And a crowd of curious onlookers
Gather beneath the broken lights.

Deathbed Waterbed

Alone in his mansion
He keels on the floor
Stumbling around,
he cannot reach the door
He fumbles with the phone
and dials his friend
But he's not picking up
And he wonders, if this is the end.

Deathbed, Waterbed,
sprung a leak between the head,
Now he's sinking like a lump of lead.

Has a few last moments,
A personal prize,
and he sees his whole life
flashing before his eyes
A birthday party at six
a wedding at twenty seven
He sees a bright white ladder
that leads up to heaven
he turns, turns to run
but his body's gone cold
his tired eyes glazed over
his wrinkled mind, so old
He faces the sun
and whispers a prayer
And he ascends up the steps
But he is still unprepared

Deathbed, Waterbed
The mattress turns a dark red,
Now he's sinking like a lump of lead

Deathbed, Waterbed,
Sprung a leak between the head,
Now he's gone, now his mortal coil's shed.

Death bed water bed
Death bed water bed
Death bed water bed

Glacier in the Sun

I am the bird in the hand,
I am a footprin in the sand,
I am finished, I am done,
I am a glacier in the sun.

You are the petals, you're the fern,
You're the violence, you're the burn,
You're the race and you're the run,
You are a glacier in the sun.

We can dance, we can fight
We can kiss under the moonlight
We can dance, we can smell
We can go and burn in hell
We can laugh, we can play
Fall asleep right where we lay
We could live or we could die
We could try.

I am silly and the trite
I'm the foolish and fun
I'm the lonely and the quiet
I'm the softly spoken pun

You have a fire that's untold,
It's the shell, and you're the gun,
But you are sharp, and you are cold,
you are a glacier in the sun.

Liftoff!

Friend will you come with me
I have a story to tell.
It starts with a strange device
at the bottom of a dusty well
His words are engraved inside
"Be free be strong and bright
These are the wings which grant
A tired traveler flight."

Tesla's Flying Machine
Runs on fuel made of dreams
And it flies tonight
It's constructed in straw
Breaking physical laws
And it flies tonight.
[
Friend, have a sip of tea
and rest your tired head.
Your life's an alchemy
that turns thoughts into lead
You have a curse, but there's
one thing that you must see.
I had the curse as well
But I found the remedy.

Tesla's Flying machine
Runs a moonlight routine
And it flies tonight.
With the birds in the air
Not one thing can compare
And it flies tonight.

Tesla's flying machine
Runs on liquid caffeine
And now we're gone.
No, we don't have a plan
We don't know where we'll land
When it comes to dawn.

Education

I've spent so much time
Filling up my mind
In school
I learned that I know nothing.

Paper and Plastic

I used to have a minotaur I kept him in a maze
But I forgot to keep on feeding him and then he ran aways
He caused a ruckus in the city, they called animal control
And then my parents sold him to a farm, or that's what I am told

I used to have a golden calf I raised him in my home
and I took him with us went we went vacationing in rome
Now he stands in colliseums drawing crowds and licking heads
And they use his fur to make the softest golden threads


Your gods are paper and plastic
My gods are ebony
Your gods are quaint and monastic
My gods hold no decree
Your gods are paper and plastic
My gods are ivory.
Your gods are sown elastic
My gods will set me free

I used to date a siren with the most exquisite eyes
And passion ran like fire when I looked into her eyes
Till she sang to me a lullaby one warm september night
And the last thing I recall is being unable to fight

I have a couple of medusas, they are living in a cage.
And every day I change their litterbox while wearing mirrow shades
I have a bonzai tree of knowledge in my rock garden of eden
Growing for ten million years
In my yard.

Your gods are paper and plastic
My gods are mahogany
Your gods are quaint and monastic
My gods hold no decree
Your gods are paper and plastic
My gods are thirty-three
Your gods are ecclesiastic
My gods will set me free

The Same Sun


When you were young,
They all complained.
And now you find,
It's still the same.
You had a son,
The only sun,
And still it shines
On everyone.

You tell me how
The years, they fly,
And yet it seems
The days crawl by.
We watched the time.
We had our fun.
And now we sing
Under the same ol' sun.

Underground


We conquered space, We conqered fear
We mastered the art of taming frontiers
Now it's time to go underground
to the only place that doesn't spin around
There, we shall live in harmony
Beneath the earth, and beneath the sea
Liberated at last from storm and sun
Perfect weather, for everyone.

The very last days of the dinosaurs
were filled with shrieks and screams and roars
As the earth was covered in time-traveling tourists
Eating all the food and living in their forests
As the meteor came to wipe out creation
The tourists retreated to their temporal stations
And others watched from Mars
And from stars afar, eating candy bars.

The past is gone, the future's now
We all got lost and we don't know how
saturn was as cold as the sun;
It was not suitable for anyone
And now that we all know that God was killed
By a meteorite that had free will
His final commandment will sound:
We must dig a hole to the underground.
