Both Beings traveled the

lands filling me with spires and

echoes, and leaving me with

a gaunt gut and utterly alone.

They seemed to comprehend us

Back and we never knew

How, they would mimic us but the

Distortion in their movement, thought, sound

Would discharge and give

Pains to your heads if one attempted to comprehend.

Some times, if alone and scared, these beings

Would face one another.

They would spill mixtures of id into their mouths

And lug their bellies filled with acid around and slam

Each Other in movements of coherent, deafening,

Echoing, incomprehensible and boundless screams which bounced off the walls, despite no walls being present -

All around was nothing but mud and

Vomit and we all laid down at night

And were left to

Try to shut our optics but no one ever could manage.

Our arms all contorted and broken and cut, our faces,

Forced to be covered

In masks revealing - images of sex

And violence, images which

Would radiate and screamed, no one did ever hear it though-

All was silent, silent was still.

We all wore these masks smiling

slaughtering. Walking while

we talked and did nothing for one another as we all left

The land of shapes and forms,

we entered this new grand city, where

We saw beings in the air flying and they were filled with large

Telescopes and radiated psychic energy, colors,

Ideas, things and some abstract

Words collected that we could not comprehend.

III.

Rats walked in suits

Made of disease and

Crows speaking ancient Greek hymns. They

Bought Hookers on the street,

Hookers filled with circular shapes

And old pyramids entangling nothing and they are bought

And they are owned by the men or women or rats and they

Are left to wander streets looking

For reason and ancient deities to save them.
