Nursery Rhyme for Blinky

 
I was clicking through the Sonogram Network
checking the rear-view to see what's next
it may be reality but is it a necessary reality
where anything out of the ordinary is signal
oh boy another uninvited anomaly
feeding time for my forehead demon
I had to go on vowel patrol
because the network was all consonants
and invented contours that couldn't be pronounced
knowing that thoughts control other thoughts
if that were a key what lock would it fit
his crime was an addiction to accuracy
saved by measurement time and again
then another accursed round of inner blackmail
and extortion from the catacombs
civilization had gone tiger humping mad
riding the carousel beast to their doom
leaving the steps of the ziggurat
slippery with fresh blood and beating hearts
daring had become hypochondria
for the contemporary retro-futurists
storming the fortifications of ignorance
with the Sunday horoscope as a map
he threw up his shrugging hands
in collective exasperation
sleep with a pistol next to your yarbles
if you want to make a difference
in the modern world paranormal or not
the bastards had so many hidden agendas
underlying rather than lying per se
I do listen to my muses
because they see through me also
only in a manner I can tolerate
they figured I never had a chance
turns out they were right I didn't
guardian angels scream in my face
all is derived from something else
oh well enough flickers and you have light
the air becomes pearly and serene
an explanation or two never hurts
fuck the menace go play
rattle cages make the parrots squawk
how many ideologies preach fun
the last thing he said was
no time like the present
moonlight bore into the earth
sanity had become a necessity
even if there is no reason
there soon will be
