lyrics

Testimony In Regard to The Vast Foam-like Umbrella


some call it theological equivalent of money laundering
I take issue with that—
gravity is contagious
and as a member of clergy I am entitled to—
it’s like parking anywhere—
the green shape
pulsates with its scraped horizons, circularity of obsession
I am standing, alone, with the tightest optical strain known to man
and you want me to—bless your—?

yes, I took the unbearable pink envelope
gematria equivalent of your soul’s worth
as a donation, as a joke, and chopped it, and rolled the color’s distance—
before I knew it, the thing
cuts its “eternal stasis” short
starts nipping at the non-representation

if anything, it was—numinous fundraising—
like I said, gravity
is contagious
so when the beam gave out
as a thigh might,
at sunrise, I was barely surprised
“there’s no need for it, really,” I said, three times,
as is the custom
everyone else
was already at the bath-house, dunking

just because you are being extrapolated
doesn’t mean you can’t be having a ball
