Wrong planet

Let me tell you
about logic. It's
flat as the world.
The only problem
w/ being wrong is
thinking that's not
a good start.

Let me tell you
about peculiar. It's
subject to revision.
You'll never know
you're correct
so long as everyone
agrees.

Let me tell you
about popularity.
It's empty calories.
Membership is acceding
no one is listening.
Crunch your
own numbers.

Let me tell you
about how it goes.
Being included is
being deluded.
Emotional mercury
seeks its
own level.

Let me tell you
about planet wrong.
I only stopped for
directions out.
Don't be the reason
someone isn't
singing.


"There is of course nothing 'wrong' about
any given life form since 'wrong' only has
reference to conflicts with other life forms
— The point is these forms should not be
on the same planet." William Burroughs,
Nova Express.
