NINE NEURONS SHORT OF NIRVANA

–

Nine neurons short of nirvana, in splendiferous tangle,

We’re lost in the sauce, in love with the mystery,

We lush out rush in blow out, as in a candle.

–

Linking intricate constellations, losing count,

Scrimmaging love with power,

Nine neurons short of nirvana, in splendiferous tangle.

–

Building transitory mountains,

Stalked by black swans, marked by mishap; misshapen,

We lush out rush in blow out, as in a candle.

–

Morons, dark saints, dutiful heroes –

Heads down, we head dead ahead,

Nine neurons short of nirvana, in splendiferous tangle.

–

Bless us, bless this mess,

Bless our unruly propagation, let us shine for a time,

We lush out rush in blow out, as in a candle.

–

In the quiet between beats,

Between ripcord combustions in wild-eyed hearts,

Nine neurons short of nirvana, in splendiferous tangle,

We lush out rush in blow out, as in a candle.
