protomartyr – the aphorist lyrics
we’re all mowing esoteric patterns in the grass
a fast and fading echo of ancient nazca man
who carved his lines upon the desert floor
in hopes to catch the eye of some forgotten god
to delight a passing thunderbird
or win patronage of a sky+jaguar knit of star
shouted slogans of leapers give me megrims
why didn’t i smash the copier when i was through?
self+doubt is a stalking fiend
narcissism is a k!ller
that and no healthcare
dumb aphorist embrace obscurants
and write in ogham for your final lines
there’s the failed lawyer haunting teen+punk shows
he’ll explain his top 5 for 09 and what to eat
but, if you ever saw his bald+skull head
you’d be certain he’d been dead for weeks
and that’s the story of the happy thief who provided content
to that ceaseless chill+out stream
his body will be found soaked in luminol aftershave
room of knives, lebanon flying j
i didn’t know him very well
but i think of him whenever my mind drifts
