rhapsode - rheithra Lyrics

Sea salt over left shoulder
My rhabdos in the right holster
Make sure the wagons bolstered
The seats upholstered
Kleobis and Biton second and third most blessed
Gift of death, Croesus not impressed
To die forthwith is second best
Death drive like individuation suppressed
Will to power, like how Nimrod built the tower
World as will and representation
Fear of castration, I got an oral fixation
What a shitty situation
No excuses though, 'cause I'm condemned to be free
Believe you me
I'm Jormungandr round the world tree
Or under the sea
Deliberating when I should begin Ragnarok
I saw Ajax impaled on a craggy rock

I was the shadow of the waxwing slain
In the false azure of the window pane
The awkward teen left standing in the rain
Seeking the self's reflection in vain
Evanescent Atalanta, admirable maiden
Red or hazel, dolorous shade and
Kingdom by the sea or coastal nation
Speak, memory, and yield to dictation
In search of lost time with tea-soaked madeleine
Write with quill and ink or fountain pen
Ineluctable modality of the visible
Need a room of one's own for writings, fictional
'Cause I'm the stream of consciousness rapper
Sometimes disheveled other times dapper
I ascended Jacob's ladder
Deconstruct the world and make the ceiling shatter
The Pokemon went to the polls
Saw them falling into holes
Bowls of porridge left out for the trolls
Satan round his baleful eyes he throws

What a silly quatrain!
You should hunt pearls of wisdom in Bahrain
Or else eat belladonna and dogbane
Dog-eyed, shameless and greedy of gain
Dude, your references are too arcane
Make quote collages, shoot word barrages
Met a desert nomad that didn't know what a mirage is
It's often said that my head is dans les nuages
Cloud messenger for my friend the yaksha
I recognized Shakuntala, had tea with Kalidasa
Studied at the madrasa then met the lama at Lhasa
Told the giver to be thankful
History's unraveling at my ankles
Like a koan that still rankles
But whats a zen master if not tranquil?
I don't know
