a. two by two

grounding out, two by two
salami and bread, twenty-two by twenty two
floors and hampers, two by twenty-two
flee from sneeze, twenty-two by two
our supply of protein is down
our supply of carbon dioxide is high
helping out the barking, baffling dots

sinking cheese holes, two by two
counting letters, two by two, too
what's the news around the authority?
can you explain a deficit for this today?
this is me understanding two
two hundred and twenty-two by two thousand two hundred and twenty-two

b. across the confusion bridge

are you receiving my message clearly?
bippitybops, disturbing, an atmosphere?
strange feeling, can it be so clear?

what is it?
what do we know?
this is me, am i out?

c. what we want

we will tell you what we want
we can give you bacon and eggs
we can keep our pants from falling down
there is nothing you can do

we will control all valid input
we will be the firewall, you will be safe
we will drop little tori into your bowl of milk
there is nothing you can do

d. here come the ghonks

ghonk, ghonk, ghonk...

"what the heck was all that about?"
"uhhhh... i don't know"
"maybe we should get out of here?"
"uhhhh... oh yeah, forgot about that"

e. attack of the solar wind

computers waiting for input
governments waiting for money
floating inside a tin can
please give me a hand

can i ever get along with these peas?
on the other side of the planet it is dark
the hydrogen points looking strange
spread across the universe, no pages
impacted by the solar wind
spinning round and round and round...

"after all this, you just have to wonder...
was it all about hilbert space and eigenvectors?"

f. two by two, part two

landing on mars, edge of a crater
is this the dark, dingy, old hamper?
distant noises starting to sing
over the cliff, disappearing from sight
trees observing a space oddity
no sense, don't know why
equipment scattering dust, pancakes
pipperpops, don't know why
deodorant, two by two
stinky fleabags, two by two
two by two

g. return of the ghonks

ghonk, ghonk, ghonk...
