Authority Zero

Chinese music plays quietly
the hardwood floors shine in the halflight of winter
reflections of a film called moon
where the evil is an inept bureaucracy
hitting us
close to home

It is the year of the Ox
I am a horse


Information flows through cisco networks
changing
feeding
growing
breeding
new life
with digital numerati acolyte
readying itself for space
because when we go up there
we come back insane

think for yourself
question authority
faith
is not an illusion
love
is not a game
hope
who is the greatest of these three

For the dragon now takes human form
to walk amongst
to rule with compassion

where the land meets the ocean
when the sun touches the sky
space and time
have memory
and spirit
every new year
is a gift
