yah, I took the red pill and the Matrix came apart like a cheap suit in a car wash while the distance between bad to good became a weaving graph line down the two lane blacktop as traffic in either direction meant nothing other than more dead armadillos skidding to a stop inches away Chrysanthemum Ritzik tosses her hair and opens the passenger door I'm gonna ride you 'till sunrise she hissed as the whip bit Ok Ok I screamed I'll wear the alligator shoes and the rhino horn hat we're all on a mission I blurted while diving out of the Cadillac front seat as she spun the wheels all over my face spitting gravel and alkali dust I yelled like a hog caller living on hope will only turn you into another blue pill hope monster leaving me a single consolation as I limped along the tarmac plotting the revenge that sank Atlantis
