lyrics

words:

we could yell but I’d rather play hide the zucchini
that we found in the garden
left there for dead
take it in your hands
need it and squeeze it
powder it with sugars
turn it into a bread

she was a proxy server for a remote connection
he was a blob
with a large-tree optimized, backend

they met one night in a flex grid muxponder
her optical carrier, was

his dual polarized quadrature phase shift keys
never unlocked anything, anyhow
yet together
their hot swappable synchronization module
supported an orthogonal backplane
that provided robust header compression

afterwards, she modified him with large blunt, amusing adjectives
cack-handed invectives
demonstrating the awesome power of 53 entangled qubits
mind altered
seeming grey loaf matters
anti-matters
annihilated doesn’t matters
looped perpetuity and spinning flame vectors hotboxing helical smoke trails and cinder sparked tendril figments
cooled, disappearing, reappearing, hot
over there

deeply, slowly, he inhaled
similar to a time enjoyed
manipulating transparent ocular floaters
across his field of view
as a boy
