85. Atomic Love (Myshkin, 2020) · couplets

Why am I scared of writing this new song? It doesn’t have to be too good or long More magic beans revealed the way to Mars, And to my old companions, dirt and stars. Lucidity and sharpness split the night, There’s nothing I should do, I’m free from fright. By screaming “Yes!” five times with all my heart, I felt the atom soup reborn as art. I shared this trip to nothing with two friends, Who saw the cosmic joke that never ends. Lets divvy up this gift, help open eyes To holy sparks that rise when ego dies! God can’t come visit me unless I’m gone. The vortex spins and every light is on. I love this world, but love’s not strong enough. I call civilization’s language bluff.
