The Electric Conductors and their Epileptic Puppets

Life was mass-produced;  Vengeance damned by technological progress.  We ushered it in.  The patented shadows  Waited for the Big Bang's retrograde  When all the world's matter  Melted into a single, copyrighted pin-point.  Then, and only then,  Did the clock disconnect .  The son of a gun is the son of The One.  They calculated every moment  And gathered every page  Ever written,  Now scanned  And kept  In an archive  Of information.  When the future archeologists pull you from the grave  You'll be like some mummy in a museum  Taken from his tomb  And put on display.  You will be studied.  You will be analyzed.  The infinite monkeys  Will find a way  To rob your grave  And explore your non-linear waves.  You smell like profit, OK?  Generational slaver¥  Extended beyond the grave.  Here's the thing.  There's a reason you've reached this far:  Connectivity Pulls you In a Circle,  And you're worth something  To them.  The circle  The square  The spirit  The

Along the Great River When excavating this site, begin by removing the topsoil.  The topsoil may contain fragments of importance ,   And the contents are sometimes revealed in an order  Reversed from how they appear. When excavating this site,  Define the stratigraphic boundaries,  And consider working from the bottom to top. For example, observe this passage: Blacksheep, baa baa !  Run over hedgerow road! Centuries, through you, navigate too. Machine time 'is up Warm swells. G1 H-Ave _________________________________________________________ When the passage is read from bottom to top, it reads as such:   HG Wells  Warms  Up his time machine  To navigate you through centuries.  Hedgerow Road [is] overrun by black sheep. NOTE:   The name HG is taken from the capital letters.   Warm swells is an anagram from "Wells warms."   The apostrophe represents an omission of h; therefore 'is becomes his. "Hedgerow Roa
