shifting borders, competitive forces conquistadors, dead civilizations survival of the fittest, seeking power power of control, watch your back competition jumping on any weakness it's a wonder we ever made it this far oily oceans, black waves hit the shore dam the rivers, cut down trees now we can all push paper around and dump it back into the ground throw in some toxic toppings voila, suffocate our home insides of the sun in the desert more insides out in the ocean radiate ourselves until we glow spy on our competition, you snooze, you lose rings of junk high above the sky a few thousand years, within a few million clear out the jungles, we need more roads free the diseases, pay the price six billion souls, is that enough? how much is enough? nature has a way of evening things out some heed warnings, some heed money maybe it's just an evolutionary push time for the flock to leave the nest post-colonial colonization will we follow our ancestors' steps? and destroy everything we touch? have we learned from our past? thousands of years into the future this time nature gets even a few escape in time to the distant past they are the last and first humans reset the clock and run it again space and time, a möbius strip

Bumblebee 05:38
the load of life is bearing down on my shoulders my skin thickens as the winds make it colder my world is frozen with a neverending loneliness it's my own fault that everything has turned into a mess but out of the corner of my eye i see something come out of the sky bumblebee, set me free bumblebee, feed me honey bumblebee, you're the key bumblebee, set me free the wall of life is stained with regrets i have chosen a path that's become complex why is this wall between you and me? how do i get through to set you free? lo and behold, a warm breeze comes to life you fly over the wall, back into my life bumblebee, set me free bumblebee, feed me honey bumblebee, you're the key bumblebee, set me free

out on the field there's a great big dog biscuit it just sits there and it doesn't move at all at all out on the field i saw something jump moving towards fort lauderdale maybe it got the dog biscuit just maybe but no, i see the dog biscuit it's still out there on the field it didn't go after it i can't see why it tastes so good why? right behind me i hear a plane flying in the sky right behind my back i don't know what it's doing i'm gonna find out there are shoes on my window sill (what are you doing on my window sill?) they just sit there sometimes they'll take a look outside and then they'll turn away turn away conservation of matter a law that i like to disobey but what about that dog biscuit? well, it ain't got nothing to do with it no, no i found a newspaper out on the sidewalk it was all wet the ink ran onto my fingers my fingers i saw a banana it was sitting there on the table watching tv imported from costa rica that's what the label said, costa rica i think, i think now, i don't know perpetual insanity sets in my nerves begin to tighten is it a waste of time? will it cost you a dime? dementia arrives like a contaminant what if the rainbow forgets to bend? dirty dishes, dirty dishes parked vans, continuum halitosis, lots of breath mints did the typewriter do anything? well, its defiance is something goodbye detectives i will not impede in the spring we will plant seeds seeds of dementia, seeds of dementia if i'm insane what did you put in my brain? down in the subway decaying sandwiches sit in the corners filling the air with fetid smells why did i go down here? why? the acceleration of the bus it always seemed to catch my attention the windows are bolted down and the milk cartons are in the basement in the basement it is enigmatic day after day i see weird things eating inner tubes digestion is slowing up digestion the celestial sphere i see a vacuum cleaner let's go play with it it makes lots of noise noise i'm playing with the toilet i don't know why i think i'm in the living room dementia i think, i think now, i don't know the acanthus just fell off the wall there are voices in the room can you hear them walking through a field of acacia surprise! surprise! dementia arrives, seeds of dementia if i'm insane know that nothing is happening in my brain

there is a moment of clarity it might be temporary i have a lot of things airplanes know they have wings going this way and under that or might i say, vice versa? can't find the wind's source i don't know anything multitudes of morons they're coming this way i tried to run i tried to get away demented? deranged? what? what? what? get me out of the cage newspaper diapers working clothespin bags sliding down the rope what could i be talking about? do you know? are you aware? out of the blue, look for my snowshoe no clouds, but it is still gray up there venture beyond your belt, smell some flowers is this clear? even for a moment?
