Cathode

The past dreaming 
of the future 
Burnt out at last
Light pulsing into the cathode ray tubes 
the wires of difference machines 
process seconds, data, imagery 
From diseased 
To hidden desire that fire electric nights
Shallow dreams what will be 
Pass through nightmares of futures run
in future life the past is in reruns 
As I dream a dream of nothing 
that will last 
A desire of the cold fire burning down deep 
the drink of sleep 
the coiled hard machines 
Stand as the cold winds burn
something reeks of madness and suffering 
the quest of the minds
Inner eye
the nighttime runs rampant in time
with lives burning out fast 
as the passage of time only sees the future as a pulse in Cathoray tubes
