how the whore of babylon
likes to babble on
that was cynicism
in case you didn't catch it
some folks aren't so good at that

of course you don't like it
if you did i'd change it
try reading a modest proposal again
if you are still confused

i guess i'm just a weirdo like that
i don't strive to appeal
to the lowest common denominator
there's just no challenge in that
and i like to be challenged
that's how i build rapport

please don't abort these ideas
before they're fully formed
Mercury keeps hurting me
with his uncertainty and
sometimes i am stronger than others
but i feel that overall
i am progressing in a positive manner

when i am negative
it is only to destroy
scripted responses
without detailed explanations

i say things only
because i'm not supposed to
i rarely mean them
i don't mean to demean
but that's how i dream them
those things that i dreamed
you should have seen them
