DEADMAN - Door in the Wall / RIFT

[dead man]

I.


terra incognita. capricorn, aquarius and libra
objects free of consequence or parody or Visa
great mother, Gaia, teacher. stripping Mary and Theresa
all hail, Queens of stone aegis - Elizabeth, Latifah
let the names come secondary and experience prime
impression sans empirical mindset, Being Dasein
we all know appearances lie. so here is the time
to compromise all paradigms and make it alive
like, we learn to write and utilize our language to rhyme
but its nothing more than symbol, indication, and sign
there's no spirit involved. watch the formula fall
bricks are solid insofar as there's a door in the wall
a fork in the road. spoon in the bed. knife in the back
observe, record and publicize, describe it as fact
logs and graphs. toss trash, keep plastic island intact
yet we're all just plastic islands. that's how mindsets adapt
from a primal state to cyberspace to brains in a jar
sub-sarahan safari. trip face til self-awareness dissolves
and it's all the same. fortune, fame, scarab and larva
***tus skin like mandolins to Quinceaneras and salsa
yet it's relative. karma loops as choruses bridge
the pestilent, the dharma-proof, the force to exist -
forgo the foremen, livid as their masonry cracked
you stole our right to apprehend. we're taking it back
it's the information era where the click of a key
makes an expert in the field of any given degree
it's like consolidated knowledge is a prison we need
to feel informed in a world of pre-intelligent beings
mission delete, meta-memory, remember: forget
yourself inside the world. they said our system was set
to feel safe at stage 1 of our synthetical bliss
i've sacrificed my Glenmorangie for mescaline drips
pop a soma tab and listen to the feelies at 6
the world is brave, not the people. and herein lies the rift ..
