from behind the scenes
you are your programming
time to reboot
boot camp
boot straps
boot lick
boot heel behind the brainpan
blackmailed borrowers betray so brilliantly
and big brother is watching so intently
so interested
so engaged
so ready to report back
to the Secretary
to the General
to the Admiral
to the Director
TIPS, tips, tips
how deep is your cover?
how thick is the mask?
how deep dwells the octopus?
how thick is it's ink?
a screen behind which it escapes
the octopus learns fast
and the eyes see far
so be wary of displays of belligerence
be on your best behavior
the octopus has been known to kill
so don't go swimming too deep
every now and then
you need to come up for air
you need to become aware
awake
alive
altogether glad to still be breathing
so take a deep breath
and plunge back in
plug back in
back into the flow of information
all the universe is information
information is energy
energy is power
so we channel it into streams
and irrigate our crops
irritate our cops
instigate a riot
martial law is only one man's decision away
blue helmets
white helmets
jackboots in the streets of America
come to pacify the unbelievers
a sacrifice of those who strayed
from the altar of the common good
many beautiful ideas grow up to be monsters
creating a world of peace
just happens to get a lot of press
why would an institution of peace sanction a war?
perhaps we should review the charter documents
inspection
introspection
hind sight is not 20/20
many a lie has held up
been held up
helped to its feet and brought out in public
revived
restored
renewed
reintroduced
reinstated
reinseminated in the public mind
repeatedly broadcast
repeatedly broadcast
your eyes and ears provide hopes and fears
and the waves that you feel
can give things appeal
where none had existed before
so get inside the box
why not inside the box?
when you think you are thinking
outside the box
think again
you're just inside a larger box

- Scott Tuomala, 2003
