"A glistening field of sport / Mylar turf sucking up to the feet of the future athlete / No noise from the crowd / Hypo-extinct brain waves peak at nominal levels / Mouths hang as they watch the rehearsed games unfold.
"Across megalopolis / Handshakes between men and machine / Ply for future rations /Every man for himself that isn't under the spell of the government's mind whip / Signals wash out over haphazardly stacked neighborhoods as they sleep / Investing, convincing, planting memories / Fabrication of emotion.
"And even farther still / Past the snicker-snack of the city's air intake fans /A humming drone passes over the green grey canopy of the last forest / The no man's land / Scanning for heat traces and human sound / Looking for the resistance with its red pin-prick eye.
"In the moments between search and seizure / The rebels eat from the forest floor /They climb trees, they commune with the animals / They live life, they stare out to the ocean, past the shanty skyscrapers/ The last frontier.
"Sean Smith soundtracks all these thoughts in my mind's eye / His synth and guitar layered music is the signal / It is the force field, refracting light / It is the chemtrail drifting down like slow motion party glitter / From the heavens settling like moon flakes on the roofs of the cars / On the debris / On the upturned faces of the rabble.
"It is beautiful imagination at its best." -John Dwyer
