I'm more watery than women
under the skin
altho' my body's composed
of 6 chemical elements within
and all that remains
to go with the flow
is approx. 60% H2O
and the gravity of the situation maintains
if I stand
on my head or hands
or do cartwheels
(head under heels)
(tho' I prob'ly shouldn't oughta)
on the cranium I'll have water
(hydrocephalus)
then again who knows
how else would I experience
some of those
cerebrum faves
alpha beta delta theta
brain-storming waves
Is Proximate to Intoxicant ~ as Protestant is to Contestant
Most laboratory mischievous
was a petri dish birth of the patent soulless
Retrograde thought waves,
cold stream of computer code consciousness
Clone algorithm doppelgänger breathe
into a body of artificial intelligence theory
Hollow cranial cavity
filled with synthetic mitochondria propagation —
Grey matter reversal movement,
Neanderthal cortical activity cybernetic
Experimental genome project,
primeval opaque was the ethical manifest
Microchip implants
rooted in Pleistocene motive —
Darwinian conquest: Amygdala tool
was nano technological,
at its terabyte best
Cerebrum devolution was a scientific success!
Test tube pre-cogs
predict a quark-y future gray
Matter of terminal importance
on a backward timer delay
Mesozoic void was the synaptic quantum leapfrog
Cerebral core of humanity drifting away
on a data entry log
Into the primordial fog
of a deity devoid day

Been having nightmares, each night it's the same
Wake up wanting to attack, murder and maim
A psycho I've become
Into the abyss I have swum
Right and left halves have joined hemis in my cerebrum
Been having nightmares, each night it's the same
Wake up wanting to attack, murder and maim
A psycho I've become
Into the abyss, I have swum
Right and left halves have joined hemis in my cerebrum
Been having nightmares, each night it's the same
Wake up wanting to attack, murder and maim
A psycho I've become
Into the abyss I have swum
Right and left halves have joined hemis in my cerebrum
