Talking heads are synchronized,
words are replicated like cloned sheep.
Dodging in and out of an unchanging static
I skip the beat.
Hey, something just flashed my drive!
Time to suspend a string of minutes
watching a black and white cowboy show,
there are no straight lines yet
just a suitably jumbled plot.
Snorting horses gallop off
before the radar scanner can blip onto
my disarray.
Great! Now the birds are all pulling together
and swim as one across a cloudless sky.
Every damn silver SUV looks the same.
I'm weaving in and out of lock-stepping soccer moms,
misfiring my way through
yet another replicant day.
Friend,
twin heart
from another heart...
Earthly imagery
replicant of the higher spheres...
Where those who already reach it
experience and live
in communion and harmony...
Lucid dream machine
Still counting electric sheep
Android who can't sleep
The white unicorn
Seeks out the virgin maiden
who's the replicant?
Together we entered your world...
majectic in your approach...
as we summonds our courage...
not a word we spoke...
you tapped me by honing my
unique heart beat...
I felt your power...you brang all
oceans before me...
...silent messenger of all depths...
you disappeard into the dark
your body - tail great length...
I fed you...I forever humble in
your gracious presents...
your tail hovered over my head...
dripping in all oceans...all rivers
I stood in awe...as you weilded
your power...
My courage now stood in a
puddle of respect...
you glide with such serenity...
your movement without replicant...
this beauty of black mass...
this underworld intrigued...
this mighty giant sting ray
made a believer out of me...
Her wing span fifteen feet...
at 250 kgs she celebrates
her age of 45...this beauty...
before me...
...this black scarey mass...
I will not forget everyday...
We breathe the nearer...
...in your presence I truly
felt alive...for I knew in that moment
you changed my thinking...
...changed my life...
