Second Renaissance

Fuck riding the rails; I’ll hurdle a train for the syrup of my pain / Purple Rain / Merge into the dirtiest lane / I heard that’s where they found my brain / Nerd games / Betting on myself is wagering against shame / Every player has a third dame / Epiphany or Pandora’s usually her bedroom name / Headroom gains / Like the mushroom’s holy flame / Every year humans grow more tame / Those the cultural purges don’t claim / Until only superlatives remain / Autograph with a pearly stain / The second Renaissance spurred by raising cain / So early it came / You heard it from Loki first; / By the end of this decade every pundit will be saying the same
