lyrics

[malice.]
a prism that refracts our gaze and would have us all believe,
the maps by which we may abide, no longer fray but crystallize.
if you see this map to be a dead form to rewrite,
a quantum leap from lifeless form may give life to formless life.

[enter the leopard.]
“may your thought forms coalesce into crystal warships
and dismantle this barricade maintained by cellophane structures and allies (a shrouded absence lying behind which).
we implore you to devise a schematic, a map of your own”,
spoke the leopard to the dreamer.

[fraud.]
if you wish to find
a territory out of reach without the map which precedes
a cartographer's scheme that conspires to place us in an abstract locus.

[elegy.]
we command something more interesting than your cellophane towers which limit our powers.
