I stopped my he
art
slowly the sands of the Electric Desert covered me
it was like drowning
I raised my arms
hoping to bre
athe through my finger tips
but oxygen was flying away
far
far
far
I was travelling
there was a land of yellow grass and dead flowers
de
ad butterflies
de
ad mice
de
ad ducks
and de
ad rabbits
“I must be de
ad too!” I told myself
I saw a house
it had no windows no door no entry of any kind
I looked at it for a long time
it seems that after a while I fell asleep
there were the strangest cre
atures in my dre
ams
horrible dragon-cats jumping on my back
and eel phones that wanted to strangle me
“I am alre
ady de
ad!” I told them
when I woke up, I was at home
in my beloved desert
my he
art was singing
still
you were no where in sight

are the y
et to live,
have no plants or air
or bees;
Rage against nothing,
vacuums.
unfed cells,
deprived minds,
the empty
soulless that continue to
multiply
and divide,
directed by
the same buyers and sellers
their heroes decry.
I was a soulless:
on a rocky mountain
the heroes built
me a soul.
A sound louder than anything
except the wars
these fury's children
never saw,
generated my life,
human ore.
While dying,
I saw the window blinds
become a living thing,
a counter,
the slats shuffling
combinations
and permutations
in numbers,
like cards shuffled
with superhuman reflex
speaking codes
of infinite futures;
I wanted to stare forever
at those living
window cover numbers,
but in seconds the ancient
future
warned,
tear away.
It must become a memory.
After I died,
driving my car
or was it an alien ship,
Butterflies and bees
trees
and clouds
magnificent jagged rocks,
and boulders alive,
canyons of grape vines,
alien fields,
and alien forests
watered my
machined soul.
Get up!
Get up!
To drive again.

Sounds very alone, but hopeful. Keep singing, heart.
