Featuring

This is an economy based on delusions

Megalomania is a big feature

of loss of mind

But we are nothing

Be around those who don’t want attention

Fly under the wire

Protect yourself from the sociopaths

Stay fuzzy

Stay benign

At least on the façade

Try and be in the moment

Find a place where you feel at home

But retain obscurity

Distance

Keep the line drawn

The drawbridge up

The force field is intact

Seek out people who are normal

Try not to take up too much oxygen

You can be their clown

They can keep you safe

Sacrifice is worth the sleep

This is not the easiest game to explain

To be an anchor after the world has ended

There is no debate left

Intellectuals talking

This is not that

The haunting

It is a floating blimp

That is how it works

Desperation

Everyone a song and dance man

Some are brilliant

not thinkers per se

They are operators

Many eschew anything that is not in the maintenance of their own power

It is best to try and emulate that

But keep it sharp with hidden depth

Keep the depths hidden

Float like a water spider

Skim, skim

Keep the content straight

Think of cans of soup over a certain price

Best to stay mid-shelf

Don’t invite observations
