The Discovery of Design

Language flowing out the corridor
Hoofprints of history juxtaposed
The unsettled gashes of human experience
Returning again to unfold new contours

Armed to the teeth
Our story replete, posted
From ancient backdoors
Charging mystic dreaming banshees

What planes will we walk?
As extreme inches have been carved
The hustle to flow capital gravitates
Through the backs of skulls

Highways like particle accelerators
Feet to photons on asphalt glass
Barriers pounce at break neck speed
Charging the stolen past
And the fantasized future
