Shadows Collide (Acoustic)

like something un-heard of, never before imagined, unclassifiable, or

maybe

like a golden, gleaming, shiny, damned futuristic age of music, far advanced, sure,

I hear it,

feel something (like a kamikaze pilot coming in from over the horizon (prepared

for the unknown!)) a shifting

inside

and upstairs, something calling me…it’s the voice of the infinite,

its destiny coming at me, it’s a sound never meant

for mortal ears (yet I hear it,

and I’m afraid it’ll blind me, turn me inside-out, shake the soul from my body, leave me gasping

for…) this is what Big Forces would listen to,

this is something for the gods, only

1 question (while she yells,

‘John, turn off that fucking racket!’) why is it

(as I turn up the volume)

that I’m allowed to listen?
