c2.  For the aetherworld

I'm walking on a thin line
Times are tough, you know,
Feels like I'm going to lose my mind
Climbing through the rough, to put on another show.

Brain chips are a-flakin' away
No use planning for tomorrow
Time left only to forget about today
All to one's own sorrow.

When one loses one's ability to
Handle as par norm one's very environ
Then there is nothing left one may do
But, continue as before and again move on.

I am but a casualty of the circle of my own fate
And retribution as well as paraphysiological solution
Is simply a dollar short and far, far too late.
I would rather that I were to make my narrow hollow with
The ocean.
