COUNTDOWN
screen lacks tactility
so make a machine, imbecillic to procrastination
(again misfired)
Objects are closer than they appear.
TEN
reach out and touch someone
pelts
NINE
in this mirror I see behind
cancel abort retry
screen
and it smiles but who wants smiles
EIGHT
reach in and feel something
SENSATION WAS ALL A MISTAKE
ignore
there's only the effect of surface tension
SEVEN
reset
something is ripping its only noise motion
everything said
was heard already
on the radio
stuck out my tongue
and found wiring
SIX
please please please
phone still ringing
clipped my hair and found barcodes
shut up!
indicating
date of purchase
date of sale
Miss Took Sen Sation for an Ex Peer
FIVE
YAHA YAH Yaaa, skiiddd
John, I can't stand the clicking
crisis outreach hotline, please hold
"WHOOPS!" said the
penguin as it flew into the blender.
grip slip
mr postman
FIVE
does the count reverse
options features menus
fully optimized to meet your
ward for meaning back-words
down to scratch
THREE
enter
WUNRUPPIE UPPOMUNGER
always in
dissolved
oblivion
of mathematics
if there were numbers
in truth
there would be freedom
so imagine a number
TWO
softly so no one will notice
it seems blue
ME
the only
silence
if you must cry
NUMBER 6:
now pulling out my
hair (but who has ever done that?
it may be rectangular, or shaped like
a chicken
Maximum tolerance levels reached. Warning!
infinite divisibility
ONE
this is all there is
(pause)
not a crowd but a group
no sand left
