Cut Along the Line
I understand your lack of feeling
I comprehend your signals so it’s alright
Throw up your hands they’re in for a killing
Raise your weapons and I’ll hold up the time
Just cut along, cut along the line
Just cut along, cut along the line
Turn down the volume, can you hear the screaming?
Find a place that you don’t have to hide
Hold a pose thats direction is freeing
Hold it in and never, never, never…
Just cut along, cut along the line
Just cut along, cut along the line
Hazel
Hazel liked to spend a little time each day googling things she had no interest in. She would research products she did not want to buy or look up illnesses she did not have.
Other times she would send questions via email to politicians and rockstars. She usually did not support the political party or appreciate the music of the rockstar the emails were addressed to, and she had no interest in reading their replies.
She posted links and YouTube clips on social media that she found dull. Some days she'd even check into places she'd never been.
One day a friend tagged her and asked her to post her top ten favourite albums on Facebook. She copied Mojo’s ‘Ten Most Important Albums in Rock History’ and posted them.
Of course she still used the internet for the usual things you and I do, things she did enjoy, but peppered her use with misleading searches to create a false online profile. She thought that by using the internet in this way there’d be no company or government organisation that could mine her data for an accurate profile of her likes or dislikes...
But soon word got out of Hazel's eccentricities. Her online habits were given a medical title and labelled an illness.
Medical professionals who made more money in a year than Hazel could make in two decades told her to cease her false online activity. They designed a medication which would stop her hijinks and injected her with a lifetime dose.
The medication made her numb, obese and a bore to be around. And then the medical professionals told her to lose weight or she'd get diabetes or worse.
Hazel googled ‘diabetes'.
Invisible
Came to pass four times
Systemal
Catchen as surplas
Freshened by your blas
I am invisible
Seasoned by encounters
All I see battle-ised
Mounted as warlord
Laid this down blindly
I am invisible
Glued to my hillside
Pounded out my sighs
Now you leave for me
Riding on the tide
Bound to search home sites
Close one eye
Magnify these guides
Riding on my bye-byes
