Strange Fiction by overlord is not metal published on 2016-07-28T05:36:28Z STRANGE FICTION Nearly perfect is still imperfect Aberration draws the eye Information seeks arrangement Then a reason for the rhyme What a story we devise! It’s a strange fiction That we tell ourselves Strange fiction Almost writes itself Fully consistent With all loose ends tied A strange fiction To make sense of our lives From extant pieces of mundane creatures A fantastic beast assembles With edges filed to be reconciled The bones are theirs, the sinew all our own Yet faced with new evidence It falls back to its elements Undeterred the parts reposition Lest its subject be subjected To a lack of intention If you can’t control the world At least control yourself Make the place you’re set your own It’s a strange fiction That we tell ourselves A strange fiction That rewrites itself A strange fiction To explain even stranger fact A strange fiction That keeps our world intact It’s a strange fiction That we sell ourselves A strange fiction That lines our shelves A new edition will always arrive It’s a strange fiction That keeps us alive Genre Indie
