Burning Man- A smearing of scenes
to some of which you feel tethered
and a few of which you wish not to remember
A series of dreams strung in a knot together on a myriad of strings and rocked forever
Manipulated like a puppet with pulleys and levers
Still the reason this city has emerged from this Black Rock desert
is so we can come together and sing our song by the letter
While experiencing the mystical,
ARCHAIC REVIVAL
Plus, to bring about something better than alienation and denial
while supplying this interactive galactic museum
with vivid paints of splatter
So we can beautify the vibe here in the now
where we gather
Freeing us from the ladder while somehow reinventing the wheel
Connecting the dots on the playa/ unified field
And while we witness this stunning group mind hypothesis crystallize
We unlock the option for bliss
and can catch a fiery glimpse of a burning apocalypse
And as the charred man crumbles into the abyss
Our soul is released at last
To rise like a phoenix from the ash
of what is
