In a state of disrepair...

The world in which we live
It is unsurpassèd strange.

A place, a time
Where anarchy exists
In a perfect printed circle,
Created by automation
With two sleeves
And four holes.

A place, a time
Where incidental uniqueness
Is routinely rewarded
With mass production
For low labour
And lesser costs.

A place, a time
Where originality
Counts for nothing
And is replaced
With trend setting
And dead ends.

A place, a time
Where inspiration
Is debased
And re-channelled
With commercial logic
And pure biased reason.

It is unsurpassèd strange
The world in which we live.

There should be a psychology of feet. For do we not make decisions with our legs and walk about on our brains? What do you mean "No, not really"?

The place just beyond my eyes, where my spirit flies.
