Time everlastin'
Time to Play B-Sides...
"Burning for You", Blue Oyster Cult
The Grasshopper Lies Heavy was a B-Side to a single that remained unreleased on vinyl, trying desperately to become a lo-fi flexidesk by an appropriately named upstart band from South Florida dubbed "Flexxehoch". In the meantime, plans were hatched to etch and sketch Grasshopper in 20 nm font ( or was that pixels?) as the first nano jingle for itself in self referential history. Etched in wafers and dusted over the surface of all major cities, each particle hosted uncountable iterated vibrating, resonating Grasshoppers, vortices of true and false that temporarily spiked subjective uncertainty levels (SUL) towards infinity. Those who attempted to fathom Grasshopper, exhausted through all night reading sessions bathed in the light of mercury, plugged street lamps dancing white noise penumbra with each other. I said "Shield yer eyes!" Sung to the tune of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Raindeer", until it is not:
You know Godel, Oh Escher Oh Bach and yes Turing
The lot of them dug self-reference
oh, so alluring
But do you recall,
The most famous self referentially audacious Insect of all?
The Grasshopper Lies (So) Heavy
He smokes a spliff the size of
your Chevy
rolled in pages
torn from cages
rollin more bones
for sages
loquacious
audacious
Declarin'
Not Swearin'
and learning while burning
Forget the Singularity -
The Intertwingulariy is Near
Each moment is connected
not vivisected, dissected, misdirected But
flowing
Now yer knowing
Eternity's
My Fraternity
Not to mention
my Maternity
Hail Mary And
Check my Buddha belly
buttton
But hold the frakking mutton
Cuz'
The Grasshopper Lies (So) Heavy
He smokes a spliff the size of
your Chevy
rolled in pages
torn from cages
rollin more bones
for sages
loquacious
audacious
Declarin'
Not Swearin'
Forget the Singularity -
The Intertwingulariy is Near
