caught in the seductive snare of synaptic riptides
i reimagine the impossible and practice pyrotechnic rites
faster than a ray of light inspiration takes hold
conjuring leaps of consciousness as my manic mind grows bold
i am swimming in the flood of the collective unconscious
i empower my inner god and worship my inner goddess
i am queering the fractals inscribed inside my brain
i am exploring manic zen while bending the psychotropic plane
ancient prophecy foretold a flood that would wipe the world clean of sin
in our ever-expanding digital age the hammer of revolution allows us to begin again
tonight i saw visions of wise yoda master of the force
i saw delores huerta who cried ‘si se suede’ organizing the women and men who till the earth
every sinew of molten wax or irregularity in the welded stone
seems pregnant with infinite possibilities visible to my eyes alone
but i know i am not the only nascent spiritual rebel
i count a small army as my karmic comrades invested in this psychosocial struggle
john lennon asked my parents’ generation to imagine the impossible
madonna did her cover injecting the lyrics into my karmic gospel
we must empower our artists and build trans and queer resistance
forging a new world from so much cognitive dissonance
we must let our minds flow with the synaptic flood
letting our dreams pierce our consciousness as bare feet reshape mud
neurochemical power is a game changer in the dying years of nepotistic corporate greed
if we let our radical imagination fly free we can heal our tribe and learn to sow sacred karmic seeds
