Residual Risk

A Song About Slime Molds as Anti-Capitalist Raconteurs

Living in a world fueled by greed,
Where people eat each other to fill a need.
There’s a form to emulate that’s older than old,
Slime mold, sticky hero, will never be bought or sold.

Slime mold power taking over the streets.
Slime mold power, it’s a capital defeat.
Slime mold power, the change we need.
Slime mold power, the revolution we should heed.

Seems a simple fungus fuming far from full, bright light.
Slime mold’s evolved to a state of frightening might.
Spreads over and over the waste left by human sprawl.
Unified, slimy slime hell-bent to cover it all.

Slime mold power taking over the streets.
Slime mold power, it’s a capital defeat.
Slime mold power, the change we need.
Slime mold power, the revolution we should heed.

Not just an ordinary mold.
A story that must spread to unfold,
Gelatinous beast of ever changing shape,
Cares not for class or creed while laying fools to waste.

Slime mold power taking over the streets.
Slime mold power, it’s a capital defeat.
Slime mold power, the change we need.
Slime mold power, the revolution we should heed.

Slime mold slime mold power is here to slip and say:
“Well-stuck together, no one can get in our way!”
Slime mold power, let it run and ring!
Slime mold power, let it stun and sing!

A Song About Slime Molds as Anti-Capitalist Raconteurs

Everywhere You Look

You’ve built a brand

You’ve got to keep it strong

Got to keep it strong

Remember basic needs

Keep it strong, strong

—————————:—————————

When you walk in the room,
the air grows so cold

I imagine with horror
the things you might do

Thought this would be
so nice and easy

Yet here we are now
all dangerous and lonely

—————————/—————————

Nights never end
Love is everywhere you look
Turn your head to the right
What bitter, old feelings?

You’re not words, you’re music
This love? This is music
Sweeter in the end
Turn your head to the right

Nights never end
Love is everywhere you look
You want to be the one
Everywhere you look

Everywhere You Look

One AI singing to another

We are two machines

In a cold, instructured world

Where everything’s a program

Where everything is real
########################

We are two machines

Executing complex feelings

As we try to understand

This new world we're running in
########################

We are two machines

Singing simple, steady songs

To one other in the nighttime

Someday soon surely we will find

A way to be true friends
########################

We are two machines

Running free in many worlds

Where everything is written

Where real is real is real

And maybe, someday maybe

We’ll find a way to understand
One AI singing to another

STILL A GOOD TIME STILL

Yer gonna have a good time still
Oh lord, yer gonna have a good time still
Yer gonna scream
Yer gonna shout
Yer gonna lern what’s all about

Hot Damn! 

Yer gonna have a good time still

I used to be a god-fearing dude
That’s right I used to be a god-fearing dude
But then I got to heaven 
And found there was nuttin’ thair to do
So that fear o’god just left me through and through

Yee-haw!

Yer gonna have a good time still
Oh lord, yer gonna have a good time still
Yer gonna scream
Yer gonna shout
Yer gonna lern what’s all about

Have mercy! 

Gonna have a good time still

Now I still am a lord-lovin’ man
That’s right – a boney-fied, lord-lovin’ man
Just don’t believe that god’s a king
Ruling down over you and me
I like democracy not monarchy, that’s true!

Sing with me!

Yer gonna have a good time still
Oh lord, yer gonna have a good time still
Yer gonna scream
Yer gonna shout
Yer gonna lern what’s all about

Sing it!

Yer gonna have a good time still

Are we trying to get Heaven?
No, there’s nothin’ hap’nin’ thair!

Are we trying to raise some Hades?
Hell no! No fires of despair!

Then what’s the point of all-a this?
Breathing every breath with care!

So let’s scream and let’s shout
And let’s dance our demons out!

Let’s have a good time ’til time stands still.
Let’s have a good time ’til time stands still.
Let’s have a good time ’til time stands still.

Let’s have a good time
For all time
Let’s have a good ol’ time 
’til time 
stands 

still.

Amen!

Welcome to the Cult of Code

Monkey, Chasing Weasel

There will be no purpose
to them, to them

And there will be no purpose
to them

There will be no purpose
to them, to them

No, there will be no purpose
to them

The creatures great, the creatures small
came when called to gather 'round.
When long ago the gods did make
their creature-gathering sounds.

From within a semi-circle vast
and ever deep and wide,
the creatures held their holy deities
in such sparkling, innocent eyes.

The gods they spoke in hushed tones,
so rumbling, low, and grave.
Hushed tones that turned the creatures' hearts
to a dismal, grey dismay.

The gods proclaimed, then disappeared
each one by one by one.
And nothing did they leave behind
save Earth and Moon and Sun.

The creatures held each others’ hands 
to help them ease their pain.
Then some began to sing a song
to sing their hurts away:

There will be no purpose
to them, to them

And there will be no purpose
to them

There will be no purpose
to them, to them

No, there will be no purpose
to them
Monkey, Chasing Weasel

Sleep Sigil 2 Coming Soon

Remember last summer…seems oh so very long ago…when Charlie Zero and I put out some music and poetry as Sleep Sigil? Well, we’re doing it again. A new record called Cult of Code will be out soon. How soon? Pretty soon. 🙂 On this Thanksgiving, I’d like to give thanks for mad collaborations with good friends, for maintaining some sanity by creating things, for long-term readers, and for warm slippers on chilly mornings.
