PHILOSOPHER STONES,
BENJAMINS & MYSTIC PIZZA
/\/\/\/\/\
For every time you breathe in and out of your lungs, the world has spun around
A counter-clockwise freeze-frame only mothers may love, a mirage-image of Adam
Kidding you half the time and the other half, serious as a random nose-bleed flow
History & Science to get you to know it all, but you find you know nothing though.
Pressed the grapes into wine, the way is perfect, or the way is vinegar, finger cross
Gulp or sip, it all goes to the spirit that awaits the buzz; the thing is, that is the boss
No singer on a stage but the vine he drank when he wrote the song, a dark side pit
Mindful or not, it’s movin’, and we’re movin’ until the end, it’ll come, it’s bull s#it.
This world will swallow you down to the bottom of the beer barrel, long empty
Spirits in the night flow in and out of the ether, back & forth through the bones
Score is even-steven at zero to zero, on the way from over here to out yonder
Space and Time wither behind your own rigor mortis, don’t shoot a messenger.
Played as well as the piece could be strummed from riff to riff, it’s a peculiar beat
Notes high C and D diminished for whatever the sevenths will allow, a minor feat
Laughing early & when it’s too late, that’s what it’s always been about since day 1
Crowds and the lonely Singularity are the whole shebang & it’s about to be a sun.
What you're buying is anything I’m selling and I ain’t selling a thing, I’m sellin’ Nothing
Everything from pole to pole around the world, coast to continental coasts on a fling
Hills climbed, underwater caves floored with darkness lighting up where we drop tears
Centerfold in the middle of nowhere, in a Milky Way or a Snickers, Three Musketeers.
Pink or invisible, clear blacklight glowing the paint in the poster, orange, red & green
Sky blue and black in a felt mix with the glow-paint, showing off the inner mind’s scene
Rolled & rocked outside & the inside couldn’t handle the jagged edge more than thrice
Been around The Block a few times, and, well, I had to obfuscate and obliterate it all.
Groovy as the wavy gravy you gulped down with the butter-infused mashed potatoes
Makin’ our hearts and souls sing from the first taste to the last forkful comes & goes
Moving from the back to the front to get a better look at what makes the noise of us
Speakers blare whatever makes it through the cables, do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti & a do.
Certainty is a desire never acquired in full; mere pretenders asserted the failure to launch
Perched on a boulder, casting the fly over the ripples that the current squirted for lunch
Who are you thinking that you are? You are no doubt, not that person; you’re a ghost
Of men and mice, all of the living crawlers, here today & all gone tomorrow, we’re toast.
