FTMT's Favourite Five Top Tenets

Without thinking


Walking down the sides of tall buildings
In a single bound
Faster than speed
Darker than a bullet
The dawning of the age
As a spider moves across a wall

Yonder snow capped peaks can't speak

Before yesterday was another day
There always was tomorrow
It brought comic strips and impossibility
Very straight lines and talk
Noiseless words describing noise

Where the buffalo roamed

We imported that other culture
Misappropriated it and all their deeds
Killed the hostages and bought fresh slaves
Piled gold into limousines
And planned a better future

All without thinking about what we were actually doing.
