Chapter 2 minor mechanical damage
Zarqawi is being liberated;
Lazy curly smoke floats over the city
Black wormholes hang in the noon bright nuclear explosion sky
Did they ever tell you what to know?
or the rain washes the concrete fort
flooded castle island
you walk among broken machines
look with clear eyes
In search of another war engine
Lost soul and body again.
vehicle, ship, ship
Guns and robots and your strengths, and
Take other people's tears and blood
Write down your retrograde meaning;
The verses that emerge from your experiments
from humble grace
and those who found you
take away, remake your people
(Hey boy, it's just you and us Blades
Our sprints and speeds and damn secrets
All the way through the heart of a person's chest! )
──They see you as a plaything, saved child; for a long time
the great setback of the past
Expediency for self-interest
Just because there are too few warriors in Utopia.
But you know your body doesn't matter
in all the elaborate schemes
Run the real game for us
Complete unfathomable missions
with capricious glands
In your bones, generate your own meaning
Famous life is like flowing water
not alive, and all we know
in your twisted marrow
You can feel everything.
