this is the peril of the sleeping eye
that continues to watch you when you think its not
because you wont observe the semi transparent lid
least of all bow down to it
you imagine you are free
but the machine takes notes on your behavior
passing them out in the street, in the general assemblies
and hums in reverse telling the faculty everything
the machine trains its own
a thousand thousand knowing the part they play
in the coexistence of everything
in the shattering of the individual
the parties for the eclipse of the Sun
are you everyone now
have you made that much progress
have you converted the bushes too
the furniture
you are encamped against the encampment of the Lord
against the angelic worlds and the court of Heaven
we can leaven our bread again
the Lord can tell us where to flee
you aren't as prevelant as you engineer yourself to be
and you wont engineer me
what can I say to you oh calculating universe
you wont make up in time you with your vast armies of new recruits
snow blank as hell
I have been watching you too
I know how you garble the secrets you think you know
and cast aspersions even on the roses.
on everything I ever felt
or knew.
eavesdropping on my silent prayers.
who are you are you there
will you be there a long time
collecting evidence against no crime
whatever you do, do quickly
Jesus said.
you didnt kill him either.
