The Far Flung Musk
The Far Flung Musk
(Image by A 'Cecil' I)
  Details   DMCA

Is Elon Musk's recent dazzle-eyed gaze
brought on by nano-implants in his brain,
little bugaboos high on Purple Haze
meant to capture ideas before they drain?
Has the human swastika been dropping
el cid? Holding telepathic convos
with the undead? Or maybe he's popping
dexies? Or he got kneed in the gongos?
You can't ever tell with the geniuses
just what the heck is going on up there
in the clouds where gods and their penises
struggle like dialecticals to care.
They say the mind is a terrible thing
to waste, but, in this case, crumple and fling.

"All, all except Phineas, constructed at infinite cost to themselves this Maginot Line against this enemy they thought they saw across the frontier, this enemy that never attacked that way--if he ever attacked at all. If indeed he was the enemy."

Yes, Richard Wagner would be very impressed with this violin, high strung, too. If only they can come up with the world's largest tuba now. The two could make quite a splash on June 19th with the marching bands and military hoo-ha. Playing Gotterdammerung no doubt. edd.it/h8n9hdcekf641.jpg
