The Soul
exists as the free audio book of a new machine
Or the spirit travels a maze to Aristotle in seraphim rose
Six brothers were birds
The Cartel Band chooses a new society
What exactly dies when the body dies?
Existence was first explained in Saginaw
In the back of the garage: giants and generals
These bandaged moments, dyed thoughts
Junkies ascend from their bleached bodies
A man has been canceled
A nebula so far away there is no picture
We are continually reborn as lyric
It’s Octopus vs. Man Under Socialism
in apostolate quickquarian revival
There are seekers and stirrers
The soul scotchtapes itself to analysis
Suddenly, the number 11 becomes important
and there will be songs of exotic vaccination
or a 1986 film script telling us of the Solzhenitsyn of Vietnam
Or the spirit travels a maze to Aristotle in seraphim rose
Six brothers were birds
The Cartel Band chooses a new society
What exactly dies when the body dies?
Existence was first explained in Saginaw
In the back of the garage: giants and generals
These bandaged moments, dyed thoughts
Junkies ascend from their bleached bodies
A man has been canceled
A nebula so far away there is no picture
We are continually reborn as lyric
It’s Octopus vs. Man Under Socialism
in apostolate quickquarian revival
There are seekers and stirrers
The soul scotchtapes itself to analysis
Suddenly, the number 11 becomes important
and there will be songs of exotic vaccination
or a 1986 film script telling us of the Solzhenitsyn of Vietnam
