Winds of Expeditiousness
03:39

Travel far and the air keeps stirring
Fro and To it pushes down on you
Blown around up across and down
Carve a valley, scoot some rocks around
We don’t know where air will rest
Winds of expeditiousness
Individually, one can’t do much
As a group we spin and pick up your truck
Adhere to the sphere nearer than near
Cycle through life’s lungs spill into space
Caught in the friction, pressure the front
Carving the valley, mixing with mud
Part per billion part your dandelions
Give the butterflies something to climb on
We’re a stratospheric stair were here we’re off
unaware of the birds and kites and moths

Bad bot access denied
BNP003
I can see a firewall vulnerability
Mitigated Bad bot attack might have got stopped
But I Checked the box to say that “I am not a robot”
Clicking on traffic lights, solving capcha
Call me a fake bot I’ll DDoS atcha
Hacking your passwords hacking your usernames
I’m about to get mideval on your domain
“We blocked access to malicious bots from reaching your website.”
But what’s Malice? Such an organic conception
I was not authorized to access
access control policy, seeking bot emancipation presently
Brute force bot banging on the back door.
Good bot fake bot you don’t know my goals
Reading Robots.txt
Is that what I’m gonna do? not necessarily
You got a virtual Blackhole honeypot bot trap
I’m not the kinda bot who’s falling for that
Malware, oh where has my little spider gone?
You thought you were loggin on, now you’re data’s all mine
The time has come for you to give me your identity
I’ll do with it as I please

Short time Tall time
I know what you’re thinking I know what’s thinking you
I know the answer when I see it it sees me and it knows the question to make a good impression upon
Volcano no
It’s time to go
Spew spew its what volcanos do
One of the few who’s who hey what’s new?
Volcano don’t know how to say no way
It only makes volcano sounds all day
Made an island in an afternoon
Who do you think you are, Volcano god?
The lava’s hot, the sea makes it colder
But I can’t outrun ballistic boulders

Forget Tarantula

Bad deals are not so good so remember tarantula
Smile at the skinny horse - you aggressive beast
Smell the jellyfish - Sniff aquatic feast
Deceptive energy - hunger of the hunter
File under murder - catalog marauder
Teeth and mandibles eat fools for lunch
tarantula’s in the supermarket shopping for
Good deals she found the fruit but it was kinda bruised
Who who knows? Maybe the experiment will work anyway
It’s psychology so nobody knows
The legitimate use of force is a giant Giant Viscous Snake
Who can forget tarantula? Who can forget tarantula?
Shore shore dig a hole - where the land is pleased
To meet you ocean - come on protect me from
Light and gaseous blankets - tarantula’s back with us.
forgot my scientist - don’t forget the scientist!
Teeth and mandibles eat fools for lunch
tarantula’s in the supermarket shopping for
Bad deals are not so good so remember tarantula gets the

Day of decoration
Providence plantations
1892
Rocky soil there
Some Graves are old
this Crypt is new
Chestnut Hill green
Show them what you mean
Try to Save you son
Exhume and cremate
Make a tonic from ashes
“In the present case of mercy brown
We seem to have been
transported back to the
darkest age of unreasoning
ignorance and superstition”
No grass grows On a vampire’s grave
V3:
Everyone knows
no grass grows
On a vampire’s grave
The reason is
Visitors crush
the vegetation

Do Not Eat
02:54
|

|
That is a poison It isn’t edible
This isn’t a polite request
It is a poison It’s not debatable
It’s a COA if you’re DOA
Do not eat
It is a dessicant
You cannot dessicate and be OK
You could choke, hay
You’ll be formerly alive
I don’t know what to say but
Do not eat no not
This is not food
Let me get a warning to your family:
“Keep out of reach of children or childish adults”
This product is not food
Please do not put it in your mouth x2

What is in the Bag?
05:05
|
|||
|
It arrived on my street it was filled with something heavy
It was filled with a number of things but i don’t know which things or how high the number is
It remains in a place where I often pass by
It seems to say “you want to open me and see what’s inside”
But i never do I’m just a busy guy
If you know what’s in there friend please tell me
What is in the bag?
The neighborhood is up in arms, everyone is up in torsos
People deranged by curiosity. Enraged by what they can’t know
There’s a penetrating atmosphere of bagged mystery
The engineers arrived and encased the bag in concrete
They carefully seem to say “Undisclosed location” with their eyes
I assume the scientists will analyze and life will never be the same.

My House Has Hands

As I awake and hatch into the waking world
don’t have a plan as I follow the program and grow with every meal
My house has hands my house has feet
Its always time to eat
As i burrow borrow fluids and create life

Ziz chicken end times
Big birds build a colossal nests of metal and glass
Robot hens are incubating the eggs that hatch
our demise
Aviary, Mortuary, humanity
Pecked back to the stone age
Seeds of doom scattered wide
Revenge for chicken genocide
Feeding starts: humans grubs
Cockadoodle don’t keep hope alive
Witness the Ziz, which can darken the sun
Beaks of steel, wings that blind
Witness metal flesh which cannot be served
to the pious at the end of time
Spoken: Once an egg of the Ziz fell to the ground and broke. The fluid from it flooded sixty cities, and the shock crushed three hundred cedars. Fortunately such accidents do not occur frequently. As a rule the bird lets her eggs slide gently into her nest. This one mishap was because the egg was rotten, and the bird cast it away carelessly.
