Hymn to Al13 /Earth Crust Angel
A speculative tribute to the Earth's Crust and Aluminum thefts at Coop in Gamlestan, Gothenburg.
One day I will write a story
about The Earth Crust Angel
who fell into Invisible Sleep
and dreamt she had transformed
to Cans and Phones, Computers and Beads
addicted to a display of Heroine Scenes
One day I will let you know that
Chthulufish came to town and told me that
The Reversed Black Hole was connected to the ground
and how The Fossil Hunter said Thats a lie!
Pointed at my left hand eye while looking at
the gradient sky
One day I will tell you
why some flowers shines better at night
and how Miss Hyde is unaltered shy,
yet user-friendly she must try to be
when questions are raised
smiley with your key
One day I will write you a lie
saying I did my best, I really tried
But while there still is time
I am telling you a story
about The Earth Crust Angel
who is no more to be seen
But when she wakes up from Invisible Sleep
you will respond to her politely with
Good afternoon, glad we finally meet!
I am not your guru dot com / Earth Crust Angel (Hymn to Al 13)

I am an artifact (times) all the people
I am an artifact x all Tuesdays
I am an artifact x all nameless ideas
I am an artifact x mine and yours
I am an artifact x all Likes
I am an artifact x do you want more

(home accessories)
Jag är en artefakt (gånger) alla människor
Jag är en artefakt x alla tisdagar
Jag är en artefakt x alla namnlösa idéer
Jag är en artefakt x min och din
Jag är en artefakt x alla gillar
Jag är en artefakt x vill du ha mer
Jag är en artefakt x heminredningsdetalj (hemtillbehör)
