(0276) ode to a despondent society

in this instant reflection, we cross our hearts out in all directions. listen for raindrops because nature's not necessarily on our side. i can't even see your beauty, yet we end up like actors in a movie. stand here and improvise while i look for walls to climb. silent; not responding. we revive you and then commence the counting. we count to infinity, but i still don't want to do the math. motion is backwards so why do we bother with our cameras? there are no real moments. it's just a blurry photograph. move faster to avoid disaster. don't slow down, or you'll be captured in a leaky vessel of time that can't be traced. restructured but still ruptured. were you planning on looking upward? it's just an optical illusion of perceptive space.

when you make sounds with an instrument, be sure to remember to kiss with your lips. keep your eyes aligned and ignore the sky. the sky is a vague reminder of why we think we feel fine.

devour all that's devoid from your ailing face of curiosity.
i've split a thousand hairs in all these wasted years, paranoid by everything i see.
i walked a million miles in these shitty shoes so i'm not worried about my feet.
no, this is not a new resolution. it's not an addendum to what you read.
give me a signal that you're still alive, and i'll give you more air to breathe.

i saw my brain in a microscope. neurons and chemicals.
frontal lobe seems to be okay, but i'm still pretty cynical.
if i disconnect the dependency, maybe then, i'd be better off.
integrate my social attitude with a culture jam and then hope that it would be enough.

inverted colors, and it was a lie. it was a myth you let propagate.
we all showed up for the final act and saw nothing but a frozen lake.
you sure laughed it up. you laughed it all up until you realized it was all a sham for which you paid.
today, i saw a rainbow that showed up on the dark side of the moon.
yesterday was tomorrow's miracle that was in harmony with the perfect tune.
