XEROX
YOU, COPY DAT?
Our skin is in the game for the duration of the perfect lives on Earth Lucky to have been conceived & born to Mankind, Existence is a fly
Nothing you can say on the record will extinguish the species’ heart
Tricks of a magician use sleight of hand to fool souls of smokin’ high.
Bills to be paid by silver and gold I’ve found buried deep into The Word
Posted the queerest & weird to initiate the cause of all species’ extinction
Calm your damn rubber soul down, wander about a land of Henry Ford
Who cares? Yo’ mama dropped a dime on you, life in dumb-ass’ prison.
At one time or another, you believe reason and logic lead to Truth’s Ends
Watching absolutely no spirits rise from their corpse once ash or embalm
Takes over the innards to preserve them from norm decay of it all psalms
Songs you’ve burnt and ate your words, embalmed, buried or in the deep.
Queen’s check on a board of 64, begets 2 impotent kings’ & 4 knights
Dancing aboard finite possibilities which lead to checkmate of the Rex
Devils & angels aside, this is strictly an all too human duel of pointlessness
Best to regard the pastime as an essential ingredient of a bad witch’s hex.
That nothing matters in the long or short run except for survival of the fit
It’s the whole of the law, a common denominator of numerators I split
Momentary lapse of Reason to learn to survival, crucified in the stirrup
Hard to get from point A to B without jumping a hippy ass, saddle up.
Inside my school gym locker, books were all read, studied for straight A’s
To read & recollect facts as presented is all that’s required to get PhD’s
Like this here & that there, a way of being at one with the incongruence
One that I knew I’d find before a last beat of my heart muscle nonsense.
Partial amnesia for good, bad & ugly is an effective cure for a broke Id
Fought the good fight for the ugly & baddest of the rest, dream of the kid
Beaches at the edge of a great Lake of Michigan, Iroquois tribes' vein
Royal flush, ace high full house will get the job done 7 of 10 times insane.
It’s the 3 times you ostensibly lose a shirt to the house, inevitable you fold
Pat hands of the dealer can profit a single dope for a spell, fool for gold
Seniors on trips to getaway from home & pretend fun is in playing game
Not winning, losing, shedding your gold to the house is cool, smile, lame.
You know & I know we’re all gonna die, 'less you’re an infant or mind
Truth is online buried in cyberspace or brick & mortar Dewey Decimals
Pierce my soul with invisible arrows, St. Cupid, when I sleep, ring a bell
Home or away, I won’t lose any game, I always win, losing is impossible.
Legal tender will bend your actions to retrieve whatever it takes get tight
Safe & sound for your return to Tomorrow’s Fixed Game of High Light
Stacked the deck to win not to lose, undefeated with a wink & nod done
Matter & Energy conceived & dissolved during The Big Bang, I'm One.
