NEIL ARMSTRONG

Open up the gates of Babylon,
Neil Armstrong has returned
from the future; he has learned
that pessimism paves the way
for all the things you never say.

Push the starting gate away from me
in the sea of tranquility
all this emptiness is disturbing me
and everything I said.
I do.
Were optimistic lies for you.

It seems absurd this world's a melting watch,
a gynecological textbook for the blind.
I feel so privileged.
8 hours a day
I get to push the stone to watch it roll downhill.
All work and no play
makes me productive,
a vital thread in a fabric wove from shit.

If I close my eyes it doesn't hurt a bit.
