Mercy to the innocent ... #Mosul #MosulOffensive: image via Eliane Althoff @_ElianeBarros, 4 May 2017
I travel through all 70 states and find no mercy for the innocent anywhere and it's 2560 I'm starting to feel dizzy and those metal clouds would be hurting my wings if I had wings
And I were flying away away away away away away away away away away
Above 70 States, 2560
There were these selfsame metal clouds sailing over the atrium in all 70 states I visited when I was going nuts running around in circles like an unemployed crane in the sky in 2560
I kept being bugged by this crazy desire that there be mercy to the innocent I tried to drink it away but I forgot how and who it was that was innocent anyway
I tried to put one in the air but I'm stuck on the ground I tried to dance it away but I'm unemployed and totally crippled and only moving around in circles anymore in virtual reality where one inevitably suffers from the discrepancy between dream and reality
I tried to change it with my hair but I have no hair Well it's like cranes in the sky when cranes in the sky are unemployed and have no hair and are stuck on the ground in virtual reality waiting to see what dawn brings
When cranes in the sky are unemployed and crippled and stuck on the ground in virtual reality thinking moving around might make them feel better but it just makes them even more abject and as the night at last draws to a close
I travel through all 70 states and find no mercy for the innocent anywhere and it's 2560 I'm starting to feel dizzy and those metal clouds would be hurting my wings if I had wings
And I were flying away away away away away away away away away away
