Odds of survival,
Percentage of deaths,
Brackets of age and gender,
Factors of lifestyle;
A smoker, a joker, a midnight toker,
A heavy drinker, a binge eater.
Your genetic make-up;
Mummy’s disease,
Daddy’s disease,
Outside-inside-on disease.
A hole in the heart,
A growth in the tissue,
A-tissue, a-tissue.

Bless you, bless me, bless all of us,
Not in the name of the father, nor the son, nor the holy spirt;
An old man, a young man, a celestial man.
No. Not a man.
In the name of art, perhaps.
The universe, most definitely.
All that is seen and unseen,
Felt and unfelt.
Helter Skelter.
And I smelt her;
That sickly scent of disinfected plastic and stainless steel,
On her hands, on his hands, on my hands...

My chest expands with blood.
My waistline expands with cake.
Shake, shake, shake!
Close your eyes and shake!
Lose yourself in the warmth of this summers night.
Make it beautiful, allow it to be real,
Before you go ahead and seal
Up the lid of my coffin.

My pale skin, against your skin,
All these places I’ve been,
In the end none of it means a thing.
It means everything.
Not one thing.
But everything.
All of these billions of planets,
Suns and moons in all the galaxies;
So wonderful, so glorious.
Everything in motion,
Not one part of me is broken.

Pointless pursuits,
In a hive all mimicking each other,
Keeping ourselves in line,
In marching order.
There we go, throughout our days,
All in marching order.
Gawking at nature as if we didn’t know each other.
As if we weren’t a part of one another.
Absurdity, profanity! Illuminati?
Paranoia, Goya, and The Disasters of War;
82 plates of unimaginable horror. Paranoia.
Morals, ethics, principles,
Embedded into wild and ferocious animals;
Enlightened or rotten,
Rotten things aren’t so appealing.
Fresh; fresh fruit, fresh bread, fresh air,
Clear matter, clear and non-toxic,
Protected; as best we know how.
We know how. We know how…

I am the lottery,
I played the lottery,
I won the lottery,
I lost the lottery.
We played the lottery,
We lost the lottery,
We won the lottery,
We are the lottery.
