The Speed of Thought

A liaison has developed between
Stupidity and genius--grammar
And geometry mate with Bohemia's own.

Dementia screams, "Slow down
Your mind. Speed up Your Life.
Opium is fax machines and cell phones.

We are all hypocrites, blending our
Blessings with our curses. Blessed
Be the ignorant for they will inherit the earth.

The static is statistics and
it is the holy lubricant that 
slows the profane speed of thought.
