Between the angel and the animal
Lies the despotic eye
Turned from all that it surveys
Towards the vanishing pointAnd there lies melancholy
Where chocolate roses melt
In the soul’s feverish heat
Into puddles of sweet bitternessBetween the heavens and the abyss
We wander through
A Technicolor virtual reality
So very far from homeThe cogito project
Descartes’ plump and spoiled brat
Has projected our minds farther
Than our bodies may followSo through dreams
And disjointed memories
The fat apple tricks our eye
Into partaking of its sweet skinWe forget the angel
And become orphans of the earth
We forget the animal
And become gods of its domainAs the exile mourns
The loss of the homeland
So the soul longs
For the mind to remember
