Numbers stream by but the calculator is not adding them up
Either the torrents of cascading electricity are too fast or there is a system error
Some vital processes have been shut down
If they were indeed there to begin with
Something is missing and there are flashing red glimmers that shouldn’t be there
Warning of an overload and impending crash
A blank slate is the catalyst to wash away the red film and treat all the viruses
Forget and reset it’s already too corrupted with worms and wormholes
The memory bank has been eroded by termites and years are leaking out
Through porous membranes and ticks and tocks have melted the floodgates away
The retention function has been overwritten by a replacement function
And an interpretation machine that understands only virtual data for example
Little factories that are churning out substitute equations
More real than anything put there by the outside
Modus operandi is sedation prescriptions
Gaps between the synapses
Spiritual lapses during periods of caligation failure to maintain all defenses
Offensive mechanisms have turned renegade and are spreading cancer through gray matter
The impersonator inside has too much control and not enough direction
An operation without objectives doesn’t know how to handle input
Because the window frame of reference is an impenetrable slab of concrete on the wall of an Abu Ghraib prison cell
More drugs are needed to undistort reality and merge relative perspectives
More pain is needed to fracture and reconstruct the puzzle in new patterns
More dreams are needed smash open the walls and shatter the lucent demons and quantify them into piles of splintered adamantine and cement them in inflexible glass
