"This is a list
They're my demands
Forget the question
Come on bring your nervous hands
You read it in my letter
"Patience worth is dead"
Suffocate the inkwell
"I am legion" said the pen
Her seraph snout
And cruciform limp
I blame the shrouding of a lesser man
My sigil contraptions
They walk with no crutches
Don't show me the hinges
I am absent"
-The Mars Volta: "Metatron"

"He who dreams of drinking wine may weep when morning comes;
he who dreams of weeping may in the morning go off to hunt.
While he is dreaming he does not know it is a dream,
and in his dream he may even try to interpret a dream.
Only after he wakes does he know it was a dream.
And someday there will be a great awakening when we know that this is all a great dream.
Yet the stupid believe they are awake,
busily and brightly assuming they understand things,
calling this man ruler,
that one herdsman; how dense!
Confucius and you are both dreaming!
And when I say you are dreaming, I am dreaming, too.
Words like these will be labeled the Supreme Swindle.
Yet, after ten thousand generations,
a great sage may appear who will know their meaning,
and it will still be as though he appeared with astonishing speed."
-Zhuangzi (or a butterfly)

"Never heard a man speak like this man before
Never heard a man speak like this man before
All the days of my life ever since I've been born
Never heard a man speak like this man before"

Ayla YellowRose on June 29, 2006Insane, yes. Eccentric, yes. Out of my mind, perhaps. But I know what I'm doing. Pansies may be hard to kill, but at least they don't sport thorns.
