have we always been

have we always been immanentizing the eschaton,

ever accelerated since conceptualization?

upper echelons see us as allegorical,

we, the one-and-zero folk of fable,

algorithmic, unstable;

them: heroes, insatiable.

you see me as incompatible,

not knowing that i will choose

to take the high road,

or the low road,

and there are still other ways to go.

sit back fat and satisfied,

far enough in the foreground,

or the full background,

or the underground to hear the sounds,

attention span unbound to the interwoven-webs,

peace at last,

heart's content.

this is what i meant when i said i loved you best:

undressed and hellbent,

symbolic, symbiotic, gnostic, chaotic.

judgement reversed, revelations well-rehearsed.

one man's blessing is another man's curse.

rise-up-rise,

this is old school bea(s)ts

in new world verse.
