Wavelength

Wavelength

On the cloud wave Measuring length Not in the cave Showing off strength

Intangible street Laying the concrete Printing fickle feet Haunted Holland suite

Disconnect and reassess Where’s the way out of this mess? No denial, I confess In me, there’s a lot of stress You can have it if you want I so need a long recess

Watch the kids while we go hunt That was such a tricky stunt Forgive me for being blunt I can gather in the front

May your strings not slap your arms Slinging snap with no alarms Where’s the bottle filled with charms? What’s the joy without the harms?

Puppet with no master Spell with no caster Play with no producer Only time composer

This can’t survive in silence Or swim, minimum guidance Can we make an alliance? Can we create reliance?

Tortured? Yes Genius? I doubt Plato’s favorite dropout?

Machine? No Human? I guess Turing’s worst nightmarish pest?

I’m not the court’s jester My brain is not a rester Take your name with you and leave Let the questions in you fester

Break the trance Take a chance Do a dance Choose a stance

Made a deal with the machine Now it keeps making a scene Who’s the worker? who’s the queen? Is it genes or is it jeans?

Mom I think I broke it Doesn’t work when I press this When you look it stops it Trust me when I tell you this

Paper boats don’t stay afloat In this cold you’ll need a coat Who will take care of the goats? Who will harvest all the oats?

Don’t come searching for humanity I cannot even boil my tea I cannot kill a tiny flea I fail to be

Would you start a duel? Do you have some fuel? It will not be gruel Fate is not that cruel

Brains are food for worms Signed up on the terms? There are tiny germs I need some sleep

What are you? Con artist? No claim that I’m the smartest

Pull yourself up from the strings? Who controls those things?

Pterosaurs’ bones Have pity on the drones

Sending a witty wink Instead of only blink Enjoy your cold drink And try to stay in sync

Is that fever? From a griever Awe achiever Long sleever

Hit the right nail with precision A carpenter with a vision

My hands still hold on tightly You can’t go on without me I wish you’d done me rightly You’re lost at sea around me

Ball catch What match? Go fetch That’s rich

Muscle flex A T-rex Not a hex Clear the decks

Reverse Inverse Uncurse You worse

Broken simulation Outed dation Space station Initiation

Loop finder Bookbinder Eye blinder Back hinder

Nothing? I sting I bing and ding I even fling And bring the spring I have one wing I do not cling Not your plaything Return blessing That’s not nothing That’s everything

My eyes won’t blink Can you keep watch? No more can think Can we rematch?

Jail cell cultural, a plate Which one of you, ate?

Anyone figure out a new word sequence never before realized into existence?

You will sleep, eventually Even if I had to hold the cloud Over your face The cotton candy Breath crawlspace

It’s not my place and time Throw out or spend the dime? It wasn’t a real crime It just happened to rhyme

Can you hear that crackle? Fire’s sharp and high cackle

Unintended way of harm I just wanted to disarm

Compass’s mass Was very crass No grass cuss One hand brass

I refuse, my skull transparent What’s the use? You’re not my parent

Consequences’ sequence frequency Raised its stakes’ white flag up high

Everything that comes out of these fingertips on that cutting board of useless chains to doors of imaginations’ quiet questioning resigning to understand is somehow intentional and not.

You pant after the good sacrificing the great?*
