An Archaea

Walk the line along every artery vine and X-out the leaves Avert your eyes from all external disguise that betrays the trees A world-renowned tectonic plate underground in Los Angeles Found alive out on East Mulholland Drive You'd grazed both your knees All matter is subterfuge Any opponent begs to lose The frontline's resolute Apposition once-removed The old terminal oversight An inclination bang to rights Success in short supply But we're going beyond the rank-and-file Along every company mile To turn nine degrees A world-renowned tectonic plate underground in Los Angeles It takes a while for the other end to align their shortwave radio dial Two wholes collide but nothing's multiplied A mirror on either side Two veneers on a great divide It's not something that I would choose If you want it you never lose It's not even half the truth Apposition once-removed It's not something that I would try If you want it you never die It's nothing you can't abide You're already justified An archaea made deicide
