Ed was at the end of his rope an expression he detested[00:00:00]

There is no rope he would scream at the laughing walls[00:00:16]

There is only the end no hope no rope[00:00:23]

Ending is better than mending[00:00:25]

Doors of perception windows of opportunity[00:00:26]

These are illusions like the killing floor[00:00:28]

Ed spoke in a squeaky whiny voice[00:00:31]

With perhaps a slight tinge of glee[00:00:34]

But this was only because he couldn't be bothered[00:00:36]

To try to develop a manner of speaking[00:00:38]

That truly reflected his mood[00:00:40]

This is a vaccum there is no air in this room[00:00:42]

Despair is no fun anymore[00:00:46]

Nihilism knocked three times on the ceiling[00:00:49]

But the rosy fingers of dawn always inserted themselves[00:00:55]

In the nose of unfulfilled promises[00:00:57]

Angels sang Heysanna Hosanna[00:00:58]

Paralyzed prima donnas danced in the streets all day[00:00:59]

But when the darkness came everybody went home[00:01:01]

I was ready everyone else was asleep[00:01:04]

And while it might have been a relief to see[00:01:05]

That I was right all along[00:01:08]

Here I am still alone and trapped[00:01:08]

Awaiting the endless end[00:01:09]

And I can turn it all around[00:01:10]

And laugh at it and laugh at myself[00:01:11]

I can laugh louder than the walls the halls the waterfalls[00:01:12]

Louder than Charles De Gaul or Fulton Mall[00:01:14]

But I don't know what I'm laughing at[00:01:23]

I don't know just what I think is so godd**n funny[00:01:24]

I don't know why I don't just shut up[00:01:28]

And give up and lay down and die[00:01:30]

What do I have to complain about anyway[00:01:32]

Ed asked his Pica*so I'm a millionaire[00:01:36]

This wasn't actually true[00:01:37]

Ed's Pica*so was an obvious forgery[00:01:38]

His three Rothkos had just been singled out[00:01:41]

In an article in 'Art forum' entitled[00:01:44]

'The Three Most Insignificant Paintings of Mark Rothko'[00:01:45]

And his Barbara Krugers had been irreparably damaged[00:01:48]

By Rein Sanction and a few other bands from Gainesville[00:01:51]

That refused to acknowledge the value of art[00:01:52]

Come to think of it Ed mused[00:01:54]

To the laminated roadkill coffee table that he had purchased[00:01:54]

When times had seemed slightly less bleak[00:02:51]

Come to think of it not only does art have no intrinsic value[00:03:01]

But my collection has no extrinsic value either[00:03:04]

I know I'm not a millionaire[00:03:06]

But that's no reason to complain[00:03:07]

There is no reason to complain[00:03:14]

There is no reason to do anything[00:03:18]

I don't believe in reason objective reality or collective farming[00:03:27]

I don't believe in public speaking[00:03:38]

Which is another reason why I'm here alone[00:03:40]

I don't believe in life or death[00:03:42]

I would kill myself but I don't believe in suicide[00:03:59]

Ed put on a red shirt and took a quick walk around the block[00:04:00]

While whistling softly to himself[00:04:09]

He reentered his apartment screaming[00:04:10]

There is no life on this planet[00:04:18]

Jehovah One replaced all life with machinery five centuries ago[00:04:20]

The so called Industrial Revolution[00:04:24]

Was just another hoax and we all fell for it[00:04:27]

'Cause we were all programmed to even I fell for it[00:04:30]

I believe in the steam engine[00:04:33]

Even though I don't believe in anything[00:04:34]

Logical inconsistency is the Mr Bubble I bathe in[00:04:36]

Each and every evening except for yesterday evening[00:04:39]

When I roller bladed over to the Masonic Temple[00:04:45]

To play pinochle with Pope John Paul the First[00:04:48]

I really had no choice in the matter[00:04:50]

Ed certainly could go on and on[00:04:50]

And he did and he would and he will[00:04:52]

Until you or I or somebody does something about it[00:04:53]

Senator Sterno of Louisiana[00:04:56]

Announced over closed circuit television[00:04:56]

And as long as he continues to pontificate pointlessly[00:05:00]

I will do nothing[00:05:03]

Ed walked away from the program feeling fortified and stapled[00:05:04]

His brain was buzzing the way it always did just after 'Jeopardy'[00:05:07]

He loaded up the micro bus with atlases and poseidons[00:05:11]

And headed for Pope County[00:05:14]

I've had it he sang I've had it with puns alliteration[00:05:15]

Russian literature Italian neorealism[00:05:18]

Meaningless cross references and laundry lists of nonsense[00:05:20]

I shall drive without a license without clothing without direction[00:05:25]

And if I make it to Arkansas fine[00:05:26]

And if I'm running late if I'm running a numbers game[00:05:28]

It doesn't matter I shall keep on running[00:05:31]

Yes this is the answer this is the ending I shall keep on running[00:05:33]

Because a body in motion tends to stay emotional[00:05:35]

And it's better to feel pain is better than emptiness[00:05:38]

Emptiness is better than nothing and nothing is better than this[00:05:41]
