I moved out to where the streets are steep
And the housing prices, even steeper
Wilted flowers in my hair
I spent my nights sleeping rough with the addicts on Mission Street
All I had was the manuscript, returned to me unopened
Pixels have replaced atoms as the building blocks of life
We put the “mess” in Mesopotamia
Nature abhors a vacuum cleaner salesman
We make love between Excel spreadsheets
Longing for the touch of linen
In a literal garden
Randroids spoke
Of electric cars and tax havens on Mars
Bloody grapes hung from the vine
Epicures drank Cali wine
They weren’t epicurean at all
They were afraid to fade into obscurity, unlike me
What’s on the other side of the garden gates?
Don’t tell me there’s white picket fences enclosing the yards
Like cages of ribs
Don’t tell me there’s a tax on ataraxia
Reason alone can’t cleanse me of my dread
There’s no need for morality if your humanity isn’t dead
We make love between Excel spreadsheets
Longing for the touch of linen
Of the twill weave
Of Lilith before Eve
