for posterity - the thirteenth floor
the thirteenth floor
step out the door into the thirteenth floor
this is where everything happens
we grow our own pets here on the 13th floor
we grow our own friends here on the 13th floor
we see how they react, animal response
is the blind kiss the blind here
the deaf wake to a strange sound on the thirteenth floor.
step out into the stone mayhem
we all drown together in the waves of forever on the 13th floor
memories of hell impose on belief
my free will concentration
a chore, it's hard to pretend you're
blind enough to comprehend
the blindness big brother has
a new day dawns ending without
creation to destroy is scourge
the scourge on the 13th floor.
i was looking for something i wrote back in 1993|4, and this popped up also; i wrote this on LSD one night, in about the same time frame as the piece i was looking for. this wasn't all that good, but i find it amusingly notable that it appears to roughly predict the horrible 1999 movie of the same name. there's also a notable shift in style in the middle, most likely because a skinny puppy song came on.
as i mostly did my LSD at night and would often write in the dark, it's unsurprising that the page contains the following notation in the header: "i can't read a fucking word i've written". lol
