APOCALYPSE: NOW!


APOCALYPSE: NOW!


“Look what they eye unearthed,” leaning into the tip of my ear with the warmth and closeness of the coming waves, high tide approaching in the waning moon.

“More secrets.” I replied.

It was a question but also a statement— there was never such as this the luminescent trace of the glowing lava that was his force and might that I could not see for miles before he would even wander— first in twinkling stars and then later the wind itself and the birds, and then beneath the waves, like the quaking shake of a mighty oak anchored elsewhere and tied to the sea.

“So you know.”

I was hoping he would kill me before the next time I had to ever really know anything.

He was the subject, and the predicate

The wrong done, and the justice

She was the pride and the prejudice

But

Judas brings the law

Did you look in the box?

No, I–

[The Box Is The Box]

–No, I haven't.

Nearly three nights ago, a mysterious box arrived on the doorstep of an equally mysterious writer, who spends their time in isolation due to the often unannounced arrival of various ghosts, spirits, time travelers, and other figures by instant teleportation and other magical forms of transportation into their shabby New York apartment.

Some of ya'll got so many air wick plug ins and scentci wax melts you don't know you smell like booboo.

It's an illusion.

You leave your house,

You smell like booboo.

I promise.

Oh, God, I think I need a drink.

Are you alright?

Let me just–sit down for a second.

Of course. My God. What's wrong.

Look, i'm not supposed to say anything about this but.

What's wrong?

It's nothing, I'm just–I'm in a song.

…what?

A song!

Is that all?!

You don't understand. It's not a normal kind of song. It's–

[takes a puff of inhaler]

You wouldn't understand.

Well what's so wrong about being in a song?

Its not – a regular song–and it's not

[gasping]

finished!

I still kind of wanted to be a comedian–but I knew I wasn't funny in the way that made sense to keep going and stand up there. I was still writing comedy, but I didn't know how to take myself out of it–the truth was, I was in a lot of pain. A lot of emotional pain that was becoming physical–and I didn't know what to do about it to break the barrier of nervousness and blank slate state of feeling the audience's perceptions of me more overwhelmingly than ever feeling myself.

look at this song.

I know huh.

It's purple. Every time.

It is purple.

And what is that. Like a muted trombone?

IS THAT A TROMBONE?

Or a tuba?

No, it has to be a trombone…becasue you can hear it slide–

And that's what that sound is.

What a sneaky rabbit.

Super sneaky rabbit.

So if i can see all this, I'm almost certainly sure the motorcycles outside and the slamming doors are meant to murder me.

I'm sure that's what it is.

You ever notice how being broke in New York makes you a bad person?

Like, if you're broke, you're just automatically shitty.

I never meant to be in New York broke.

I never meant to be in New York,

But I certainly never meant to be here and be poor,

Poor in New York?

Automatically a shitty person.

Despite how you act.

You can be a rich piece of shit—

But the status is automatically

“You got dough? Oh, alright. Carry on”

That's the attitude in New York City. Crap people get by cause they got their hands on some money and the rules in New York say it doesn't really matter how you come by it,

As long as you come by it.

There's no real rules or real laws to it—

Just

“Get the money”

Well god damn.

This makes me nervous.

I'm an artist.

I've tried everything.

I didn't mean to be the automatic enemy here.

Of course not.

But New York is a terrifying place to me, now,

Cause I realized I can be a very sweet, very humble, very honest person—

And that kind of shit doesn't matter here, really. It brings you no respect to be decent.

It's about the money.

So I'm a musician— which in New York also makes me like,

Automatically not special,

And I'm trying to just be a musician, and so naturally,

I'm broke.

Like broke in half.

Like all my bills are late.

But music is my solace.

So I'm listening to music,

And I'm listening to a song that is so beautiful, that I start to cry. The first time I heard it, it made me cry

And I'm listening to it over, and it made me cry

And it's so beautiful, and God is so beautiful

And look at what God did,

So I'm crying,

And I don't even know what it is about the beauty of it that's making me cry,

But it's making me cry,

And New York hears me crying

And New York goes

“I'll give you something to cry about”

And I open my email

And there's a bill from my landlord reminding me how often I'm talked about due to my late payments—

And I'm realizing I've been here two years and I still don't have any money,

Even though I've been trying and trying

And trying

So now I'm crying for other reasons.

Thanks a lot, New York.

“I'll give you something to cry about”

So I did.

If there's anything worse than being black in a city that hates blacks—

It's being broke in a city that hates broke people.

So I haven't spent any money in awhile.

Not even on little things, or things I need.

I just stay inside, and work, and think

And try and really try

To figure out how to make money

Without having any, or spending any.

Cause you can have it, and spend it, but it's always a gamble.

Maybe all I needed was a good cry.

But now it's not for the right reasons

I'm not crying cause something is so beautiful and look at what God did

I'm crying because of what I'm sure is just the devil I'm crying for the wrong things

Not because of something that's so very beautiful

But because of something that's so very ugly

With just a wave of the hand

And the flick of each finger as it rolls into a crisp closed palm,

A flick of birds fell to the ground, bursting with caws

Below his stance, and in a flutter of feathers and wings,

The evil master, unmoved and untouched,

Untouchable in his weight and glory, simply only even mildly and barely smirks at all.

He has defeated all and still somehow, not won.

Some say it's sure to come, the thing that wants and gathers ties;

Some say surely it is yet but withered and then sure again will come

It has, five times, and barely waded,

Waking in the midsts of my pure eye,

The morning light and fog, aye?

Ye, they remembers none but our Art,

And I'm bound as sure by wing and force

Is you to dozens of masses,

And ships having sailed but one,

Which I have flourished and kept

And stocked with these, the masses

And yea having spade, and having friends

And having honor, there was none past kept and mine, sured;

And wicked may as wicked be but evil none truer thou nones't had yet pured, and muted and gathered, I have,

And woken and laid and barren and truths do'st tied,

And there have been shooken and wait,

And m faire'd and barred here, and hereforth

My duty it is to forward, forward, my shallows

For my shadow,

For my golden hour has shined and now you,

These caged shall fly,

And these thoughts shall sing,

And these hour conspired to miss my time daily,

And these things, beytraying that—

There have no times at all,

These walls in holy temples kept, swaying and cadences, and wearing, and weary,

And foreign and ayered, aye— and armored.

And he, you, does not wish to know but also has known— and does not wish to see, but he, too has blinded, and does not wish to betray, and yet has been crowned, made with guilt and also

Shattered, as it was,

And shatters, as it came, the wave o'er all us and tide sinking under, and caves and rebels and heart laid bare to surf not suffer,

Nor cap nor keeping, nor tied nor honor,

No, honor her;

No honor came and I have tied also, this tie to mine, and another, and another and another

Now forward.

Forward!

Forward!

Damn, Conan's monologues he going deep.

Yeah, I guess.

He's fine, right?

Look, you don't need this.

Just promise me.

I am sorry.

Mr Jimmy has it good, too good

Little sister doesn't have a heart.

But didn't know it

Mister music made it in the industry, too hat

Mister rager had a sip at dinner

It was all dramatic

Stars went falling

Crashing down and

All it is Ms. Martha

Is mismanagement of energy

All it is, Ms. Margret is a magnet

And it hasn't happened badly since I had a handle on it

But I still get sick of madness

And I still get sick with city sickness

Still, forget the dancer

I was sitting on the show,

In the audience

With my mother,

Oh the models,

Dozens of them

Blondes and ballet buns, the brunettes

I was just a lost cause

And I wanted it all, the tux and the bow tie

I wanted you gone so I looked at it harder

Until

It became nothing but

Clouds in the sky

You were stardust

I'm a comet

Here comes crashing,

Had to find the progress report

Then I lost it

Soggy in the sideways rain

It was days and days

Do you promise?

That's a concept?

Do you promise God will be alright,

Cause I came running

Sent them under cover

Sent the men a message

Send the man a hammer

Sitting in a hammock

No one homes the hostile

If you don't have anything nice to say

Then don't say anything at all

And certainly don't come and go

As often as you want to

It's a game of control; you know

The whites, when they still want to own you

Somehow

I'm all sub so honest, I just—wanted that

But only for a man and never bow to another woman

Even if on my honor

I found us as equals

And no one walks the earth as calmly

As someone whose never had their lights out

Or had their light put out

Or their lights turned off

Who are God now?

Who's our God, man?

Who's our God, Math.

That's heavy weight,

And if you want a biblical fate

This is Fallon,

And if you watch what you ate

You cut calories

And if you want the girl back

Give it Californian

And I'm not towrth much more

Than the project housing,

Or a handful of candy corn, Conan—

But I phone in Oscars,

Still no nuts for the rabbit,

And if you wanted the bunker back—

You can have it.

I'm all hands down in a game of poker

Heaven doesn't want it

Gotta get drunk not once, but at all the goalposts,

Gotta count one, not two, the show hosts

Too few car parts

Wicked, mazes, starfold, gazes

Wishes,

Martyred.

(But pronounced mar-tired}

V.O

I think about jay Leno a lot.

Lately, anyway.

I don't know why.

I like all the hosts.

Somebody.

Tell me why

Dillon Francis looks like JD Vance.

I think he's a clone.

Tel me why I know who JD Vance is.

They're clones.

Tell me why.

Back to the future here and now

So. Where do you want to go?

Anywhere but here.

Anywhere but here is kind of far, are you sure you're up for it?

Good one, doc

Though head of the alumni chapter of the cult-within a cult—to which each African American cast member of Saturday night live is automatically inducted into— EDDIE MURPHY refuses to participate in the group's latest and most complicated ritual.

Delivery.

Uh, I didn't order any—

Breadsticks.

What.

Breadsticks.

I didn't order any—

Just—

The delivery man hands over the breadsticks.

—take them.

Oh…Kay.

See ya.

The delivery man reaches in and shuts the door himself.

Uh…

Lol is this the one where the mysterious breadsticks are delivered without ever being ordered, and then they end up being the best breadsticks in the world, but they don't know where they came from?

Yes. I think so.

Lol

I bought a planner because so much I loved Joan Rivers, and I planned to fill it with all the places I should go— because keeping anything digital online was not only not working as far as remembering places I wanted or needed to be be, but it was dangerous, also. I was already being tracked, and I couldn't afford a new phone just yet. Eventually, but for now I was stuck to the same signal— which meant the same traces and the same trackers they had been limiting my under-the-radar mystique. As it were, somebody always knew where I was, and it was in the most unpleasant way so far—the only thing I really wandered was what made me so important anyway to begin with. I wasn't actually political in anyway, and still someone seemed to be trying to derail my life… or at least control it, neither of which was beneficial for me in the way that made sense. I wasn't having any fun, nor did I consider living indoors as payment— especially since indoors, there were also paid plants and stalkers, and now that I had begun to more meticulously document the things that were happening, it was easy to separate from delusions.

I was actually being followed— but why? Either way, having a detailed. Calendar of places I could go, the ways to get there and even alternate functions within the same grid allowed more control than just staying in my apartment a sitting duck; that's how they were hurting me. They knew where I was— all the time, and it no longer made sense to fight it and try to make music under this kind of insane irritation; the music I was making wasn't the kind I wanted anyway, and whatever war they were fighting with m stark white girls motorcycles was simply not my war. I didn't have a war, and so there wasn't a fight, and so at the very least if I were going to be fucked with, it would have to be in public; that way I had more control to steer whatever was happening in my favor and collect the energy as mine instead of lost. I wasn't an insane person— but what had been happening at my apartment was insane, and so I left it with the understanding that these people worked and operated on a level of violence and ignorance I would never be able to comprehend; they were simply tools for the devil, which in any case, was always the lesser than God.

However— because I was starting to figure out who I was, and that I had some sort of power, I knew that I was going to be attacked— because it seemed my power had at the very least not been figured out as to some kind of way to make somebody else money. I had been studying Michael Jackson and this was a key indication that the way his talent priovided a power which would be used as a service, he was very successful. His talent and training alone wouldn't have reapresented with such great reverence the ability to capture a global audience as such— but it was this power, almost as if it had been bottled up and altered, rebranded and sold and labeled with something everyone could not only love and understand, but by the hand of the media and its conglomerates, be hypnotized to worship, and this power simply put would not have been exactly what it was were it not for the eye of the media remaining in complete control of its distribution to the eyes and ears of the public. This thing which might have been the first of its kind but certainly not the last was in a sense model for modern superstardom— the live concert business had not sense much changed but built upon this super powered control of the masses by assimilation, spectacle, and of course the magic and illusion. But, and it it just so happened to perfectly brush up against my studies in esoteric knowledge that I happened to rub up against this— although nothing was of course by mere circumstance anymore, because whether or not I remained incognito was a wash, and I was being looked at by someone no matter what on the internet I did, or where I decided to go and in that sense was being fed these things, and yet with some Grace of God was allowed with it to be aligned with my own higher purpose in a way, I could observe that Michael Jackson was not in fact of course certainly just a dancer or singer or remarkable performer— he was truly a magician, and I was able to clearly recognize this language with with the energy that had used his vehicle for such a projection was speaking— not only this, I was able to clearly count out the markings and sigils and signs and symbols Michael was making in his movement; ancient arts, and magical symbols, traced so rapidly that it almost created a heat signature in a sense of the symbols that were being dictated, unknowing to the untrained eye. For the most part, I could only really assume that this is why these people were losing their minds— in his movements, Michael Jackson was literally carving ancient callings, glyphs and sigils I had so recently read about in magical studies that it was impossible not to laugh. This was in every sense of the word, ‘magic' but not in the normal way one assumes to be something unexplainable. Michael Jackson was casting spells to thousands of people at a time, in front of cameras and at high volume vibration, often times even implementing the use of light, color, and fire. These were not simple gatherings in mass for entertainment purposes— these were rituals, and in the modern day, still were or are— but I had noticed in a quick glimpse, from Michael Jackson 30 some odd years ago to Lady Gaga just having passed something like a week ago to an audience of the same size— that something was kind of wrong, now. The people had changed, and the specable had been done over and over, and the brainwashing of the masses had in a sense been almost complete— and so It wasn't some sense of confusion or unknowing the things that were happening to me in my own life and my own world— I too, was capable of these things, at that capacity, and had simply not been trained in the same sense of the ideal superstar, however— the things that were happening in my own life and in my own world were not difficult to grasp or understand— when one comes upon a power as such, it finds means to seek to control it and harness it for his own use and purposes. Perhaps it was the simple fact that in this way, in the way I get the dream had gone and the spectacle had been played out of the masses and the illusion was no longer as such— that the actual knowledge of distinct ancient wisdom that had been Michael Jackson's natural ability was distinguishable from that of Lady Gaga's training in the same formula, and that one did not equal the other, but in terms of business could equal to that as such as the masses had been manipulated to seek solace in these same things— and it was not illusion or grandiosity that I, even in my agingness, was still capable of these things; I had no doubt in my mind that I could sing and dance for two hours to audiences of hundreds of thousands— but this was not the question for the business or the media— the question was, would hundreds of thousands pay to see me, or rather— who was willing to front the means to hypnotize hundreds of people to become aware of me so that they would do such a thing. My talent and capabilities were undeniable— but my markatability might have been in question, because it was no longer simply a matter or chance or luck: the people chosen to figure such spectacle were chosen, hand selected and well trained to become media conglomerate superstars, even regardless of talent; perhaps this itself was the key indication that the world of the superstar itself had come to an end—it was no longer so much of a spectacle was worth it. Or, perhaps, because money had come between these ancient arts and symbols and languages being spoken by the superstars of old, that the magic in the literal sense had gone all the way away. The symbolism in the art had died, and so the singing and the dancing remained, but the God had gone out of it. Maybe that was the difference. The superstars of today were just the shell of the model that had been built on God, but the Godsense of it was no longer there— and so the magic no longer remained in effect, as the powers of magic that be are in all ancient arts and texts and forms attributive to The Source.

Either way, I wasn't going to continue to be a sitting duck in my apartment in Brooklyn— there were too many indications that it had all been a setup from the shelter to the day I moved in, with the motorcycles and cars and CBS studios one block away. So the real and only question was, what exactly had been played at and who exactly was pulling the strings? I might at this point become a loose cannon: my son was estranged and as far as the people were concerned, I mostly hated New York— because the refined, clean cut and classy people I liked and wanted to be around saw me as the dirt and the grime I was fighting my way through just to simply exist— in my mind, this was a world that could be no more.

I like Sara in a dress

I like Sara in a dress

I like Sara in a dress

I like Sara in a dress

I met sparrow in a cage

I like Sara in a dress

I like Sara in a dress

Keep writing

I never thought I ‘d see the day

Where i's taking lessons on Fallon

From Michael Jackson

That's ran

That's a fan

This is fame

I'm insane

I'm insane

That's a fan

Light the flame

That's a fan.

That's a fan.

I like Sara in a dress

I met sparrow in a cage

I went up the rack, set the page on fire

Nordstrom rack

And I might take it back for the cash

I like Sara in a dress

Stay repressed

Keep it dark

If you kiss don't tell

I will probably go to hell for just writing

Try it

In black ink, I got all spades, Ehy,

Spare me the ridicule, the imbecile and

I met Johnny in a cage

I like Fallon in a dress,

Obsessive, I'm dressed out

Every day I leave where I do not live

Where stalker crawl and haunt me

Just to show the motorcycles

Have desheveled my intelligence into

Nothing

And so with negligence,

I leave the core of a rotting apple

The foreign words of a doctor

And

You must call the king, says something far off

But I wonder which one

I wonder which one

I so respect her honor

That I no longer

Follow my heart or my soul

And I don't shallow

But shatter to swallow

So

I let the sparrow

Out of the cage

I bought Sara

A pair of pants

And I haunt l Patrick Kirkpatrick in patches

And haven't you read yet

You're ready for forget the pageant?

It hasn't happened yet!

I love Sara in a dress

I hate Fallon and his wife

Keep the kids out if it

Skull and crossbones

Cross my heart and

Really hope to the loveless

Or else

Someone might call my phone back

It's on silent in my coffin

Or wait—

It's on vibrate.

I'm obsessed with the way You're dressed

And the name on your checks

I guess I'm better for it

I'll skip lunch if you think that's what's best

And dinner, too

If you deserve the best

Then better have learned my lesson

No sweat

And to do,

With you,

Was then,

Dinner through next supper

All the love I had was

Rubbed into something other than

The glass I patted dry

With microfiber

With ever fiber of my being

I want to be with you

I should have just—

Died,

And then

Did, and so next

Life,

Remind me not to

Fall for it

If i really wanted to know you,
I would know you by now–

If i wanted to have you?

I would have had you already

Nobody is a dancer after Michael Jackson.

I just watched some shit that was like

“What the fuck did I just see”

The whole thing was just not right.

It was-/

I was like

First of all, it's Munich, 1997.

I never really realized how terribly the world has changed;

No cellphones, but the audience is lit,

And the crazy thing is, you can tell that this is near the turn of the century because, when the camera is panning by the audience in the people, they're not looking directly into the camera or waving at the camera— not really.

And clearly this is an all ages show, so there's children, so the interesting thing I'm finding out is that nobody's trained to look at the camera and wave and smile— except the babies on shoulders and shit. These kids— they're my age now, are the only ones that see the camera, and they look directly into the shit.

Mi still can't do that, really—

I'm theatrically trained.

Haha

If I see a camera, I try to act ‘natural'

It's the weirdest thing to look at a camera and just start to work it.

People at festivals now, the camera rolls by,

Or the drone flies in,

And they look deadass in the camera and start to work it.

Not at this show.

Munich 1997, I'm like

“Damn, a lot of things is wrong with this”

First of all, I love Michael Jackson,

I look directly at this man, and I'm in my dirty peak so I have an instant— like a sex detector thing going on

And I know people gave Michael a hard time when he was a live for being fruity and whatever

But I'm looking at this dude, and I don't see fruit at all.

I see 100% man.

I see why people were mad at him.

Cause I'm looking at this dude, 100%

All I see is carnal, primal man.

I'm like,

“Yo, I see why they was mad at him”

Because the camera kept panning to the audience

And these people are losing their minds.

They are coming out of themselves.

They are UGLY CRYING, full out of body,

Losing composure

They don't know what to do.

That's Michael Jackson.

He's right there!

And the place is huge so really besides these few hundreds of people in the front,

Michael's just a speck,

But he's working this audience like

“Yo, you know who I am, I know who is me”

And I'm realizing, that to these people

That's their god.

These girls are losing their minds m

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!l

*crying inconsolably*

Just UGLY crying

Bitch, get it together .

You all the way lost yourself

Get. It together.

She won't.

This bitch.

I can't get over this

This one girl,

They just keep going back to her

Cause the whole show—

And this is like 2 hours of pure non stop Michael Jackson,

This girl, every time you see her, she's just ugly crying—

And every time you see her

Her cry is uglier and ugly

I'm like

“Damn bitch”

“Daaaaaaang”

So this is the first thing I see that is wrong.

But there's a lot of things wrong here,

Cause there's a lot of girls like this.

There's just— hundreds of girls losing their minds, like, I've seen Beatles mania and thought that was crazy,

Shit, I've even seen some people put out that kind of energy in the modern world for some dumb DJ's—

That's their god—

But THIS

THIS Michael Jackson mania was mental illness

That was hard to watch.

That was people just

Lost control.

I'm thinking

“Like goddamn. You— what?!”

“AAagghhhhhhgahahahahahqhahahhahaha MICHAELl

“These people are sick”

But they are. And so is Michael

Fame has gone too far, 1997;

12 short years before he died, by chance—

So this is what I see,

And then Michael starts dancing,

And this—

This is what I see;

I see the only thing that can ever be what it was in that moment in time, as God being God:

Michael Jackson.

Shiny ass motherfucker,

And so I'm watching this show,

And all I see is a God being a man being a God being—

Michael Jackson—

And the whole thing is weird.

But the worst part—

Yes

The worst part

Was when, about mid show,

Michael goes to do one of his slow, lovey doves songs,

And like, this 6 foot 7 type body guard guy,

Just pops up out of nowhere,

Comes dead front and center to one of these little girls losing their minds,

Runs up on her in an instant;

You don't even have time to think—

And just SNATCHES her—

Snatches the bitch—

“Ah!”

then throws her up on stage with Michael—

And he's still singing; this is his game, this is part of the show, he knows—

But she doesn't know,

And she's just lost her mind,

She won't let go

She's hugging and kissing on the dude,

She's lost her mind,

She's ugly crying

She's on the floor,

She's kissing his hand

She's really lost her good goddamn mind—

And they pan out to the audience,

And all the girls that didn't get picked

Are like

WHY NOT MEEEEEEEREEEEE?!?

THE UGLY CRIES ARE EVEN UGLIER NOW,

They're like

“Wh—what?”

You don't know?!

“WHY NOT ME”

They're holding each other crying,

Michael's just doing his thing,

He's unphased,

He's trying to play along;

He's a professional like a motherfucker;

He's just— keeps singing

And this girl is just,

Losing it, so at this point, it's weird,

She's crazy batshit lost her mind all the way,

Won't let go of Michael, kissing his face while he's singing,

He's kind of unreceptive to it, now just looking out at the audience, almost not even looking at all

Just cold as fuck actually,

Like she's not there, kissing his face

Cold as fuck—

And then another bouncer dude—

An even bigger one in a blue suit, comes and tears her off of Michael

Cause clearly this has gone too far or whatever

And I'm thinking

“What in the fuck did I just see”

Blue suit dude just snatches,

Just—

He has to tear her off of him!

She's kicking and screaming and getting dragged off stage

Michael's just: singing.

YO.

Then they dragged her back stage.

Where did she go?!

WHO DID SHE BECOME?!

WHAT IN THE FUCK DID I JUST SEE?!?

WHAT.

1997. You can't do that shit anymore!

You cannot snatch bitches like that.

I seen.

Watch the video.

Tell me what's wrong with it.

It's disgusting.

Not the snatching,

Not the—

Like, that was weird

But the screaming and the crying and the—

Like okay, the snatching was bad—

But I'm like

..::

….

Now I see why they was mad.

Don't ever forget he was once—

A dark skinned little boy,

And in his genetics his whole life is still this thing

That some hate.

But people loved him; they loved him that hard—

Screaming, ugly crying hard.

I think in that moment you know someone was like “he must be stopped!”

And it seems like yesterday was a year ago

But I don't want let anybody know…

Cause everybody wants something from me now—

And I don't want to let them down.

My life is over.

New York City looks so small from the top of a skyscraper.

What are you doing.

Then again— my thoughts lately have been grandiose.

Back market, eh?

What's this for?

You need a burner.

I have three.

Here, have another.

For someone whose supposed to be entirely off grid, I'm admirably reachable.

Clever vocabulary.

Something has to be clever about me, doesn't it?

Does it?

It must be. Or else.

[both men are speaking casually over the delicate process of loading rare guns; some of which appear to be antique, and some—almost even unearthly , as if from somewhere besides our own planet.

But, you could say what planet this is at all, actually— this bunker, with no windows and no doors, is apparently hidden in a subterranean layer— the location, unknown. The men seem calm but also quite tired and weary, and seem to know each other well. We can assume they've probably been friends for years.

Sickle cell anemia.

Does that mean I'm going to die.

Animus, I quite like whatever that is, Google.

;) don't mention it.

Honestly, you might as well.

What.

I can't help you with this.

What.

I don't think there's anyone who can.

Beg your pardon.

Please, don't beg— but uh…

[the doctor pats his patient on the shoulder]

Do take care.

Gee, doc! I'll try!

You should do that.

What.

Try.

The doctor leaves seemingly in some kind of hurry, trading his lab coat for a trench coat and closing the door behind him.

The other man pauses for a second in the silence of the weird linoleum room, then ponders on the coat for a moment before walking up to the coat rack, putting on the coat, and then walking out the door himself; as he begins to shut the door, he quickly decides also to take the fedora that was sitting atop the coat rack, placing it on his head before he walks out the door himself, shutting it behind him quietly.

You got anything to eat in here?

Cereal…some rabbit food ina the drawers, there.

Oh, you have salad. That sounds nice.

No, rabbit food.

[the man presents a large bag of weird brown dry food from the crisper drawer.]

…pellets.

For the rabbits.

How do rabbits get in here?

…I don't know.

And— more importantly— where did you get rabbit food for them?

If I told you Amazon, would you believe me?

The man just winces and places the bag back into the crisper drawer.

Now listen, I um—

If you want cereal, the milk is powedred…

I don't— and that's disgusting— but listen—

[the man cocks a loaded gun and admires it intensively]

(Dismissively)

—I'm listening.

I've been meaning to tell you something.

Tell me what.

It's important.

Oh, You couldn't have used one of my four phones.

Look, it's—

You know I wasn't expecting company. Well—

You should sit down.

The man squints, beginning to listen more attentively.

…really.

I'm holding a loaded gun; there are at least three more within arms reach if I do sit, you know.

I know.

But I should sit?

One baby to another says,

“I'm lucky to've met you.”

Maybe you should.

Not all my bad but all my might,

And all my mind,

The fire,

The light.

…business or personal.

[beat]

Both.

{Enter The Multiverse}

What are we watching?!

Shhhhhh!

Shut up.

What is this?

Some..

Sshhh.

Shit, I don't know. Sit down.

You don't know.

SHH it just came on

Shh.

Ok.

When?

Uh…

(Nobody really seems to know how long it's been. The show just happened to come on; no one remembers how, or why— or even when—

But the show is intense as it gets;

And it just keeps getting weirder and deeper.)

{Enter The Multiverse}

I'm transfixed on your soul

And it seems I aspire

To what has transpired here,

Your unremarked and the umpire

The spider veins and the way it washes.

And watches and waves, and waters over you,

And still I seem to think you've won another,

Strum to thumb of you.

And still I wake to gather here

The odds and whats

And the twists and turns and the

Troublesome you've number some

Or stuttered, stumbled conciousness.

And withered branches

Aces lie and house of cards

And aging scoundrels—

There you are, the..:

Nevermind.

Don't belittle my ways if,

In the end my thinking may be correct

As dumbfounded as I have shifted my lottery bonds tied to none,

There ye are again who aren't I,

And never were,

And weathered now, as I, bound to

Struggle under her might,

Nothing I was, and nothing I am

And nothing I came from but to barter

Oh hard love, I only found my kings upon thrown

As cast out of another by her likeness,

Peace and pale and primed as it was,

And wanted for love,

As I was not—

And then, the gates had opened

And I, preaching withered,

Gathered my arts and my minds

And my eyes, and my thrones,

Buried my ark and though not my bones

The shallow waking peaks of pride

And there you gathered, all as huddled sheep to mine,

The cost of war, but certain therefore honored as I have,

Happened went, came and untied, shattered

Hating all I am and all my dark and all my eyes and all my brown

Because you came and went, a baby born to as nothing was but beauty and yet having been gifted such life,

Departed! Soon, I wake shattered and with none as it had began, in my time and in time there laid there none,

But fortune seeks to favor, as ye are saying brave and yet I neither beg nor make to differ,

Shall you come again in part,

And in this time as shadows, as shadows

As hating and wearing and waging,

And shattered I, I pardon,

Knowing not they seeking I,

And I having none at all but one,

As forgotten I shall came

And went

And followed this,

The time y'i call now,

And ours and ours,

And yours and yours,

And mine and mine,

Though as one are also,

Common not,

And waking yet to find,

These things making have gone into yer

Another of ours, world,

Another of our dozens,

Shines,

Another of our gathered, wit, and waking

Though true to fortune, none us have gathered

And have embarked to truth,

The waking I have come,

Another, and another, and another

Departed. And yet, I bury my words having weakened to that which is this,

Ye have no fear and lest no fortune in these words,

For having I to come and gone, since they times

In words to make this a language I or neither other

Does not speak here, and almost never,

And this yours time past,

Has come and gone

And come and gone

And come and gone again,

So long so I too have parted but not yet

Unfolded as does my nature,

As God does.

Belittle this, you waking fools,

As to this you pity though divine,

Is unlike any other

And steep remarked in gold and with chimes and words

That ye here no often or either now, or in mine speak.

Amen

…can I go now?

You are dismissed.

What if I just want to be alone in the dark

Alone in the dark

Alone in the dark

Bones Duggar was a long, handsome zombie

Bones once was a very tall man

Not great and tall, as he stands

But average,

Grand as it were, his status.

Everything's black

My heart

My pants

My home

My mind

Everything hurts

But you don't understand that

Like I can

Calm the commercial holidays for a moment

Who gets the card?

Get our your hard earned

My head hurts

Slam the door man;

You can't control thoughts

With a wombat

Murderer

Now that's a hard concept to catch

When you haven't a soul

When you haven't a card

Or a car

Or a cat

I think I'm vanilla.

I always thought of myself as a super kink

Like a freaky, freaky bitch.

So I got on this app.

This app is better then Tinder.

Yes.

But it is not for the faint of heart.

No, sir.

They have a test,

I'm like “ooh, I like tests”

So I take the test.

The test was not at all…

As I'd hoped.

First of all,

It was hard.

It was not a quiz;

It was a TEST

And I failed.

I realized

“Oh my god, I don't like any of this stuff”

I am not about that!

No!

Yuck!

Gross.

“I think I might be vanilla.”

I might be vanilla.

I want my hair pulled back like a leash

And my arms tied up

Like I'm being arrested

Without being read my rights.

— I want your hands on the back of my neck

[breathe]

Reach around to my

Mortimer's apple

Put the lights out,

Adam.

I want the lights cut off.

I want the bills piled up so the phone don't work

I want the habit back on

Don't talk to nobody

I told you, I'm coming

No, God!

That's dumb!

Show me why I'm off all alone with a rattle so bad

It's just segmented thoughts, colors and sounds I can't make with all the plugins in the kindgdom of chaos?!

I WANT KINGS,

AND KINGS WANT BLONDES—

I WANT KINGS, AND KINGS WANT BLONDES

I WANT KINGS, AND KINGS WANT BLONDES

—but the one who could love me is God,

And I guess he's not coming.

The denial turns to tears,

Not songs no more

My womb is empty

And the sun has turned into

Not what I wanted

But not my fault

We got caught in the land of

Cutting costs

And processed morsels

At 400 pounds

And that's where I found

What I thought was love

But it turns out

That it just turns up

In the whole form of a person

And that's why

I got the collar, caller

But really I'm no one's lover

So I

Do what I want

I don't hang up on God

But he don't got a body

And I need someone to love/

Fuck me

Please God

Don't turn the lights off

I'll pull the clock back

Just like foreskin,

god i want your skin

Draped over mine in a warm swath

Probably run a hot back

Cause the next stop is a closet

The line doesn't really move for the Doesn'tMatterhorn. some people are starting to doubt if it's even a ride.

Others just admire it for its eloquence as a metaphor.

Johnny! You scared me!

Aha.

Where did you go?!

Nowhere— fast!

Alright well—

Money when you know I have it

But I haven't really

Paid attention to the never ending

Digits never coming in but

Simply, there's a secret, Sonny

Someday you'll get lessons, honey.

Much to find and much to serve and

Surf us up

Piñata's bout the burst

But here comes Vesuvius

(POW)

Everyone was gone in an instant

(Vapor)

Had a good laugh that night in the pantheon;

Everything's past, and the mortals

They kept on running

But i didn't want go, God

Putting on a show then I blow up

Just like the mountain

Found her

Now I got a broke back husband (hope so)

To tell, don't ask

Don't show up if you just get lost

But I'm probably in the back with a bottle back mountain

Now you got a real horse pack. Trip

Girl keep camping

What was the map with the mask and the

Fashion?

Pass.

I put sugar on the rim of the glass

With my eyes half closed

And my ass clenched fast shut

I'm an alcoholic

Don't involve the God

I got lost in the mall with the

—-

UGHHHHHHHH!

Hello.

Uh, yes— hi.

what up.

Mirror mirror.

Uh…nothing.

You're lost?

No.

You look lost.

Oh?

Disgruntled.

I am that.

You're lost?

I'm not lost. My friend is lost. His phone is dead.

You lost each other.

Sort of.

Continuity conniption

I nipped an eclipse

And he picked his nose

For a full ass minute

Sitting at the stop sign

That's a gobstopper's worth in our time

Pull all the clocks back,

Pull the fool over,

You just got fined

It was Friday for nothing

I was in the hatchback,

Scratch that

Sour patch

Should have called Pat back

Now I'm just a

Cool 48 in the ring with a date

And the cashapp

Continuity construction

I want a husband!

Fuck that.

I want a clean cut plus one

Since I can't have

Helmet,

Elmo,

Or Hatchetman;

Tears of a Clow…no,

Wait

I lost focus

Half finished album

Got 6 tracks

But I knew it was 12 from the get go

Prob‘ly should have knocked off the showrunner;

Nah, I'm sure I had that coming

Hashtag, undon

Could have been you, too

If the cash came through

Now it's hard times

Hardwired

Sitting on a hi wire,

Little white liar, liar

Wait

I made Katey Sagal

(Fire)

Cut off her hair

(Fire)

Went to the hall of fame with the framed sunglasses

Asked for her autograf,

But she walked off

So I shot her with a bottle/ can,

But she ducked, popped back up

With the brass knuckles

Surfboard

Good for a chuckle and a fuck

So I asked for her number

All that on a Sunday at Gelson's market.

Christ, almighty

I miss Walmart,

I hit hard times.

So many places to run,

But not many places to hide

I think I want to die here

I think i want to die.

City of corruption…

Lay it out and lay it over

City of corruption…

no, it's not a choice

It's a black tie function

Right in that very moment Seth Meyers kind of became my defacto personal hero.

“Never meet your heroes”

Or perhaps it was just his writing team, or the fact that maybe even without there even being anything set in stone or solid at all, [redacted] itself seemed to have a price over my head–

It all seemed to make sense; in fact, all the crazy things i was experiencing made more sense than it didn't. But after what felt something like between defeat and maybe even one day really getting justice for all the things that had happened to me in new york– it was that, at best;

That without actually meaning it, by all probability, the opening monologue described what in perfect sense the thing that had been happening to me: hundreds of motorcycles and cars riding around in circles for over a year, any time i tried to work or sleep–and then, when I finally tried to reach out to find an attorney that would help, I was made to feel crazy for it.

In a way, it was the perfect indication that it had all been some sort of sick game, and that I was more right than wrong, and being set up to appear, sound, or look crazy–but I wasn't. I had been under attack for nearly two years, and when I tried to reach out, my heart raced and my voice cracked, and I sounded crazy and desperate–but what was happening was very real; and now I knew where I was.

As it turns out, New York's corruption was more common knowledge to everyone else before it was to me: New York was a common place for fucked up, dirty, low-down mind games: and this was my lesson in that.

Seth Meyers in reality had nothing to do with it–and really I only meant to watch Kimmel over my afternoon tacos.

But still, though it hadn't entirely anything to do with me, the opening statements rang true to exactly what I had experienced; I was made to lose my mind, only to have everyone around me tell me it was something wrong with me–but it wasn't. Something was wrong with the city, and the building management, and the people around who were making it all to be some kind of mental disorder or problems with my mind–in reality, it was 2 years of being in the center of a speedway, and all the time i'd lost because of it adding to the stress, and the angst, and the depression that resulted.

Moo.

Moo…

Moo.

Moo, sir.

I'll kill you.

You promise?

I want to.

Don't get me excited over nothing;

If this isn't the exit, please take this tease

To the left, dear

Moo, cow

My honor

Level one, and brother, you've got nothing

Flip the coin and landed on your headache

Betting on your helmet

Standing on my cock, i'm taller

(Not a rooster)

But my ops are rooting for you,

No informants,

Dont you know I was a collar, all along?

I was a shot calling,

Cop calling

Kiss-and-tell all as the night goes on.

But oh, I brought you a dollar bra

Oh, I bought you for all of a dollar

And oh,

I'm so much taller,

Standing on my cock

But i'm not but ten feet tall

You know, you wrote that

Should i open the book, or close that

Caught that cat, owl and

As i soft spoke at

Every broken model

Broken bottle for the thoughts you owe

Across the scatters skies and no one ever knows

When you're realling coming over

Come on,

I'm on the pornhub

Just to pick up another one

Go on, and rub the bottle

One more once,

To call the

Bubbles.

Damn.

Come.

(The Monkey obeys)

You should see Michael in all of his godform

You won't recognize him at all if not by the eyes

When you follow home

Believe me, this not comes close to it;

The one you wanted

The world you jumped to but were just short of

Call her back

Oh no, you're wrong

It's another song

A pin up girl

And the wrong number

Okah.

Okah, Pablo.

Does anyone else smell blood

I hate wedding days suits and tuxedos

No, I don't know you

I'm just here to sound the hundred drums

Of the once before us

(The ones to come)

Then, there we were and I didn't want to admit

Again, I was caught into the ghost of the rapture

Or the holy hour,

No aux chord

Show the holy one

Just how old you are

On these sacr d lands and a holy grounds

Now I want here half an ounce to smoke

And there were drowning orchestras in all of the hearts

And all of the markets,

The market the marker

And all of the sins of the savior

The maytyr

Did you remember not to notice not to know him

Were you sure with words you were for nickelodeaon!

I was supposed to hold on to,

Supposed to hold on to

Suddenly, it's summer.

And always our own are under the weather

There was no other wise man the wind. Lee the one came

The site came and went and then the songs went left

The songs went left;

Again, the songs went left

Did you win at wintergreen

Well, God, I didn't know gym was a game.

I didn't know guns we're just portals to worlds unknownn

I didn't know gossip was golden

What all else didn't I know

It wasn't for here! It was fourth flour

And in the final hour of the battle I commenced to summon

All the gods and all the lords and all the flowers

All the worlds of oceans and the

Remember, this

The remembrance

It may not matter to some,

What matters to most

But until summer comes,

I'm still up under the rail

And practically it's spring, for the next two weeks

I'm all berries and cream and whatever you wanted.

Tormaline, emerald and onyx, the fox said

And fox says its west when instead it's quite under what of the reporter's offer?

Comes down a little to none

What of the offer

Comes down from a billion to one

A billion to one

I'm on TV so it's really just a one way screen

Either way,

I don't think he likes me much

I don't think he likes me much

I'd rather die than to fall in love even one more time

And to keep on just never being loved

Never beingbloved
