"Creation Story" from the album *Rainbows from Atoms*
written by lungfish
1993
"paranoia warped into a gravity
which spread a smothering blanket-
an evolutionary launching pad
vision was tested on blank sky
and a voice said
let me tell you about the time
that something occurred
medication caused an ear to hear
and a conflict of interpretation arose
landscapes were drawn from a plague
of particles
the burden was distributed
the law would return
as inflated skins
while music initiated architecture
animals, living through a
velocity of fear
began to modify their behavior
to comply with human observation
thus dropping the keystone
in the eggshell honeycomb
of anthrocentric history sense
as for the plants
they had been with music
science procured a steeple shell
dressed for immortality
hollow to hold the music
the motion repelled all opinion
and refused to consider its origin
apples happened
bringing acids and enzymes
the spinning recorder
disguised as an endless bouquet
things became erotic at the drop of a hat
a tyrant placed an apple on a table
and lorded over it
as a fish realized it held a monkey
inside itself
and expelled it on the beach
in a larval salamander form
the voters clamored for more circles
and the whole rig began to rotate
books were used for fuel and money
and everybody was writing them
the planets turned inside out
to expose their freight
no charges were pressed
because all involved agreed
that they could die
these are the secrets a world sung to me
truer than the truth
a young order of birds
that eats the eyes of their believers
science predicted forms of worship
and revelled in them
an orgy of mutation took place
for many years near water
inside clouds
the people bound their feet
with the skins of the animals
to trample their own cities
and each other
the developed external organs
like guns and television sets
they believed that they own things
one mind in a generation
will the eternal broadcast
the voice saying
let me tell about the time
that something occurred
that mind's body will be strapped down
and that body's mind will be subject
to testing or electrical currents
rippled through the brain
but the music pervades
it was music that gave the shove
and resolved in music we shall breathe
it was children that crafted a parent
and resolved in children
we shall live."

They say that Time and Space exist not, save in our thoughts. If so, then that which has been, is, and the Past can never cease. She is mine, and I shall find her - what matters it where, or when, or how? Till then, my soul is but a moon-lighted chamber of ghosts; and I sit within, the dreariest of them all. When she enters, it will be a home of love. And I wait --- I wait.
Premier of my documentary film "The Dreamlike Quality of Living" Weds May 27 at 7 PM at the iDiOM Theater, Bellingham, WA featuring music from Ida, Nanang Tatang, Lungfish, and more...
