POCKETS EMPTY,
zero Clearance leeway
Take my word for it or not, there is nothing at the end of the forks in the roads except a Void
This is no criminal enterprise, yet it appears that it’s run by an unfriendly force of geek nerds
Be that as it may, ain’t no time for sergeants and generals, it’s all for One & One for all of it
We got to Earth accidentally, ask you mamas, now only God knows you’ll twit a tweet skit.
Shut down your radar so you don’t know that the End is incoming, not just you but all dirt
It’s not from Outerspace or another planet or solar system in the galaxy, us in a black hole
Disturbing it is, coming to fruition without a clue about the reason why Life exists, a Squirt
From a clueless distributor of rhyme & reason, devoid of both in essence of a sacred LOL.
Buying everything that’s for sale to resell at a profit when the supplies run out of holy Hells
High or low, underground preferred to recover the stolen goods from the ugly and the bads
Known or unknown, the rules and regulations remain sacrosanct, Live & Let Live, nutshells
Grain of the Truth as we know it, conceived, born, programmed to seek all narrow way fads.
Grime spins around, wobbles around, orbits around, runs amok around the solar plexi orbit
Who, what, where & why are the preemptory reflexes at the Origin’s Big Bang, disintegrated
No recollection of preconception either as a sperm or an egg, nor a fetus in an RNA scat pit
Look ‘round 360 degrees from where you sit & lie to me, now and then before y’all are dead.
Zippity Do Dah, Zippity Ehhhhhh, my oh my oh what a wonderful day, plenty of sunshine
Ol’ Jiminy Cricket’s rant when he rocked & rolled cartoons of my youth, drunk Disney wine
No way to stop it, nothing else was on but the News, old news remixed for the deception
Hurry away from the place in Space you inhabit, to avoid death by fear of being rat’s skin.
Beer, wine and spirits of every style cooked in a still or alcohol industrial disease racket
Used to be run by the mafia underground, then Jack Daniels & Seagram stole the show
Mr Bigstuff, who do you think you are, what would your mama say about her egg’s grow
It’s now for me to say, for me to know & for you to find out, it’s all there in the open glow.
Gone either with the wind or buried deep as shovels dig, maybe sunk to Davy Jones’ crib
Way down near the bottom silt that coats the core, too hot to handle, chilled by a wet face
A cooler star, Earth will reignite and return to it’s former glory, the sun of God, Adam’s rib
Kids the begotten daughters and mothers of the species’ genome, RNA/DNA panty lace.
Bob your head, duck your head down when the Time comes to snag one last gasp of O2
Rigor mortis and the stench of rotten, digestion and bacteria ingestion, hidden in the blue
Notes blown, air tubes, pluck anima sinews-strings, beat wood on stretched skin & metal
That’s all the melody, the rhythm and the beats to the payoff, end of the gig’s foot pedal.
Apes eating grapes grown in the vineyards, before the wrath comes with the winter’s Fall
From above the atmosphere, between asteroids & galactic atoms in gravitational collapse
Pits inside of the fruits are required to be here at all, where, why or how & just let it lapse
To the dead and yet to be born, it’s a moot point, dead ghosts don’t survive so have a ball.
Browbeaten before conception, karma an illusion of fools who don’t know God is dead
As above, so below, the concept of Creator of Everything is a fiction of the Pope’s head
Back in the day, hundreds of years ago, maybe millennia ago, we were all saints who die
Those who terminated God’s RNA line of sight, survived in a Tizzy fit, as low as most high.
Buying Time in the by-and-by may not be the best thing to do, nobody knows & I can’t tell
If you die and there’s nothing after life, who gives a hoot, Freddy may have nailed it in Hell
A nihilist way for the amigas and amigos of the one spouting efficacious comprehension
Of human & vermin walks of life, all things animated become stone silent in Time’s den.
Blood bleeds, souls have no skin in the game, a concept to screw your nuts into bolts
You nailed it before, winning and losing just the ending of the games’ high-stake revolts
Before you breathed the gas and after you can’t suck wind any longer, gotta pay the fees
World of Rich and Poor, pole to pole, around the equator, every dry spot between seas.
Wrecks below the sea, floated for a minute, displaced the gas of Hydrogen & Oxygen
Made it all cherry wine that no human can resist, it’s the blood flowing from God’s sun
Above my head, below my feet, it’s happened before & it will again, I’ll come & I’ll go on
To perfection of a smile on the Divine Face, like my mother Earth, she said, It Is Done!
Hot junk yard housing the junkies & Scotland yard housing the Bobbies or sheriff of Nots
In and out of the hot matrix mix, original sinners in a maelstrom of original dashes in dots
Better than you hoped, not as good as you wanted it to be, yet here you’re all right on top
Of piles of smiles and trials ancestors leftover in the safe, open amen, mankind is a flop!
Print the smiles for the camera, false faces’ bones that hide the Truth which ain’t so much
Just the facts man, nothing but the facts, Truth, I can handle the Truth, what about you fool?
Whether or not you can, here’s the truth for you in any case, you’re no place in Space, a Dot
Nothing more nor less, got bent by your folks, you’ll die & it’ll come back to haunt you too.
Highway ain’t movin’ for anybody, you got to hit that road to move & there’s no free choice
Move this animation or just be underground, unmoved mover woke up from a surreal place
Always sliding safe into home, hitting baseballs like there’s no tomorrow, 80 homer season
Just once, I struck out on a tip-foul, yet it was a knuckleball I could’ve hit to Folsom prison.
Saving face because I don’t appreciate embarrassment of the kinfolk and loves of my life
Hence, I’ve erased my historical record of ever being here & now, name & number deleted
Hit the ground running & hitch a ride on a Tesla to the moon and back, 186,000 miles 1-way
Back before you’re mother knew you were gone, on a UFO from midnight to Four, look away.
Offense taken, without retaliation, I accept the opinion you’ve gleaned from deception eyes
Astigmatic, far or near-sighted and nearly blind as a bat without radar, the skies full of pies
Cherry or lemon méringue or a Key Lime pie in my refrigerator to mix with my café con leche
Got woke, awakened, appeared I knew nothing more than uncertainty, my big Marlin catch.
