Press Conference

I think you seem to
misunderstand what I'm
not really saying in
the context of history
rather than what is no
longer relevant or true.

There is more to look
at beyond what is
obviously supposed.
There is air and there
is emptiness. Shadows
move slowly, if at all.

When was the last time
all hope seceded?
I have no reports
contradicting the studies
made of them. Stones
that gave us signs
have been mislaid.

Should we panic those
already terrified? Can
we torture the sacrifice
on the altar of love?
I have no comment.
Light bothers my eyes
whenever I look.

If there are no more
questions to be answered,
let's just wait and see.
It is not in our
interests to have heads
examined.. Give us the
money and we'll be friends.
