When everyone you have ever loved is finally gone[00:00:30]

When everything you have ever wanted is finally done with[00:00:37]

When all of your nightmares are for a time obscured[00:00:41]

As by a shining brainless beacon[00:00:44]

Or a blinding eclipse of the many terrible shapes of this world[00:00:48]

When you are calm and joyful[00:00:53]

And finally entirely alone[00:00:55]

Then in a great new darkness[00:00:58]

You will finally execute your special plan[00:01:01]

One needs to have a plan someone said[00:01:07]

Who was turned away into the shadows[00:01:14]

And who I had believed was sleeping or dead[00:01:24]

Imagine he said all the flesh that is eaten[00:01:34]

The teeth tearing into it[00:01:46]

The tongue tasting its savor[00:01:48]

And the hunger for that taste[00:01:51]

Now take away that flesh he said[00:01:55]

Take away the teeth and the tongue[00:01:58]

The taste and the hunger[00:02:00]

Take away everything as it is[00:02:03]

That was my plan[00:02:06]

My own special plan for this world[00:02:08]

I listened to these words and yet I did not wonder[00:02:10]

If this creature whom I had thought sleeping[00:02:16]

Or dead would ever approach his vision[00:02:18]

Even in his deepest dreams[00:02:21]

Or his most lasting death[00:02:24]

Because I had heard of such plans such visions[00:02:28]

And I knew they did not see far enough[00:02:31]

That what was demanded in a way of a plan[00:02:35]

Needed to go beyond tongue and teeth and hunger and flesh[00:02:39]

Beyond the bones and the very dust of bones[00:02:44]

And the wind that would come to blow the dust away[00:02:47]

And so I began to envision a darkness[00:02:53]

That was long before the dark of night[00:02:55]

And a strangely shining light[00:02:59]

That owed nothing to the light of day[00:03:01]

That day may seem like other days[00:03:14]

Once more we feel the tiny legged trepidations[00:03:39]

Once more we are mangled by a great grinding fear[00:03:41]

But that day will have no others after[00:03:47]

No more worlds like this will follow[00:03:49]

Because I have a plan[00:03:55]

A very special plan[00:03:57]

No more worlds like this[00:04:00]

No more days like that[00:04:03]

There are but four ways to die[00:04:36]

A sardonic spirit might have said to me[00:04:37]

There is dying that occurs relatively suddenly[00:04:42]

There is dying that occurs relatively gradually[00:04:47]

There is dying that occurs relatively painlessly[00:04:51]

There is the death that is full of pain[00:04:55]

Thus by various means they are combined[00:04:59]

The sudden and the gradual[00:05:02]

The painless and the painful[00:05:03]

To yield but four ways to die[00:05:08]

And there are no others[00:05:10]

Even after the voice stopped speaking[00:05:16]

I listened for it to speak again[00:05:19]

After hours and day and years have passed[00:05:23]

I listened for some further words[00:05:26]

Yet all I heard were the faintest echoes reminding me[00:05:31]

There are no others[00:05:35]

There are no others[00:05:38]

Was it then that I began to conceive[00:05:41]

For this world a special plan[00:05:43]

There are no means for escaping this world[00:06:06]

It penetrates even into your sleep[00:06:22]

And is his substance[00:06:25]

You are caught in your own dreaming[00:06:28]

Where there is no space[00:06:30]

And a hell forever where there is no time[00:06:33]

You can't do nothing you aren't told to do[00:06:34]

There is no hope for escape from this dream[00:06:40]

That was never yours[00:06:44]

The very words you speak are only its very words[00:06:47]

And you talk like a traitor[00:06:52]

Under its incessant torture[00:06:55]

There are many who have designs upon this world[00:07:26]

And dream of wild and vast reformations[00:07:29]

I have heard them talking in their sleep[00:07:34]

Of elegant mutations[00:07:37]

And cunning annihilations[00:07:39]

I have heard them whispering in the corners of crooked houses[00:07:43]

And in the alleys and narrow back[00:07:47]

Streets of this crooked creaking universe[00:07:49]

Which they with their new designs were made straight and sound[00:07:53]

But each of these new and ill conceived designs[00:08:01]

Is deranged in its heart[00:08:04]

For they see this world as if it were alone and original[00:08:08]

And not as only one of count with others[00:08:13]

Whose nightmares all precede[00:08:16]

Like a hideous garden grown from a single seed[00:08:18]

I have heard these dreamers talking in their sleep[00:08:26]

And I stand waiting for them[00:08:30]

As at the top of a darkened flight of stairs[00:08:32]

They know nothing of me[00:08:37]

And none of the secrets of my special plan[00:08:39]

While I know every crooked creaking step of theirs[00:08:44]

It was the voice of someone who was waiting in the shadows[00:09:09]

Who was looking at the moon and waiting for me to turn the corner[00:09:25]

And enter a narrow street[00:09:30]

And stand with him in the dull glaze of moonlight[00:09:33]

Then he said to me[00:09:38]

He whispered[00:09:40]

That my plan was misconceived[00:09:41]

That my special plan for this world was a terrible mistake[00:09:44]

Because he said there is nothing to do[00:09:49]

And there is no where to go[00:09:54]

There is nothing to be and there is no one to know[00:09:56]

Your plan is a mistake he repeated[00:10:02]

This world is a mistake I replied[00:10:06]

The children always followed him[00:10:23]

When they saw him hopping by[00:10:41]

A funny walk[00:10:45]

A funny man[00:10:47]

A funny funny funny man[00:10:48]

He made them laugh sometimes[00:10:51]

He made them laugh oh yes he did[00:10:56]

He did he did he did he did[00:10:57]

Oh how he made them roll[00:11:01]

One day he took them to a place[00:11:05]

He knew a special place[00:11:07]

And told them things about this world[00:11:11]

This funny funny funny world[00:11:13]

Which made them laugh sometimes[00:11:17]

He made them laugh oh yes he did[00:11:21]

He did he did he did he did[00:11:25]

Oh how he made them roll[00:11:27]

Then the funny man who made them laugh[00:11:32]

Sometimes he did[00:11:34]

Revealed to them his special plan[00:11:37]

His very special funny plan[00:11:40]

Knowing they would understand[00:11:43]

And maybe laugh sometimes[00:11:45]

He made them laugh[00:11:46]

Oh yes he did[00:11:50]

He did he did he did he did[00:11:52]

Their eyes grew wide beneath there lids[00:11:55]

And how he made them roll[00:11:59]

I first learned the facts from a lunatic[00:12:05]

In a dark and quiet room that smelled of stale time and space[00:12:34]

There are no people[00:12:40]

Nothing at all like that[00:12:42]

The human phenomenon is but the sum of densely coiled layers of illusion[00:12:45]

Each of which winds itself upon the supreme insanity[00:12:52]

But there are persons of any kind[00:12:56]

When all that can be is mindless mirrors[00:12:59]

Laughing and screaming as they parade about[00:13:03]

In an endless dream[00:13:07]

But when I asked the lunatic what it was[00:13:11]

It swore itself within these mirrors[00:13:13]

As they marched endlessly in stale time and space[00:13:16]

He only looked and smiled[00:13:21]

Then he laughed and screamed[00:13:26]

And in his black and empty eyes[00:13:28]

I saw for a moment as in a mirror[00:13:31]

A form the shade of divinity[00:13:35]

In flight from its stale infinity[00:13:38]

Of time and space and the worst of all[00:13:41]

Of this world dreams[00:13:43]

My special plan for the laughter[00:13:47]

And the screams[00:14:06]

We went to see some little show[00:14:16]

That was staged in an old shed[00:14:23]

Past the edge of town[00:14:25]

And in its beginnings all seemed well[00:14:28]

The miniature curtain stage glowed in the darkness[00:14:31]

While those dolls bounced along on their strings before our eyes[00:14:35]

And in its beginnings all seemed well[00:14:41]

But then there came a suttle turning point which some have noticed[00:14:46]

And I was one[00:14:51]

Who quietly left the show[00:14:53]

No I did not[00:14:55]

Because I could see where things were going[00:14:56]

As the antics of those dolls grew strange[00:15:00]

And the fragile strings grew taut[00:15:03]

With their tiny pullings tiny limbs[00:15:06]

The others around me became appalled[00:15:09]

And turned away and abandoned the show[00:15:11]

That was staged in an old shed[00:15:14]

Past the edge of town[00:15:16]

But I wanted to witness what could never be[00:15:19]

I wanted to see what could not be seen[00:15:21]

The moment of consummate disaster[00:15:24]

When puppets turn to face the puppet master[00:15:28]

It was twilight and I stood in a grayish haze of the vast empty building[00:15:57]

When the silence was enriched by a reverberant voice[00:16:08]

All the things of this world it said[00:16:13]

Are of but one essence[00:16:17]

For which there are no words[00:16:19]

This is the greater part which has no beginning or end[00:16:23]

And the one essence of this world for which there can be no words[00:16:27]

Is that all the things of this world[00:16:33]

This is the lesser part which had a beginning and shall have an end[00:16:36]

And for which words were conceived solely to speak of[00:16:41]

The tiny broken beings of this world it said[00:16:45]

The beginnings and endings of this world it said[00:16:49]

For which words were conceived solely to speak of[00:16:52]

Now remove these words and what remains it asks me[00:16:58]

As I stood in the twilight of that vast empty building[00:17:02]

But I did not answer[00:17:06]

The question echoed over and over[00:17:09]

But I remained silent until the echoes died[00:17:12]

And as twilight passed into the evening I felt my[00:17:16]

Special plan for which there are no words[00:17:19]

Moving towards a greater darkness[00:17:23]

There are some who have no voices[00:17:38]

Or none that will ever speak[00:17:58]

Because of the things they know about this world[00:18:01]

And the things they feel about this world[00:18:04]

Because the thoughts that fill a brain[00:18:06]

That is a damaged brain[00:18:09]

Because the pain that fills a body[00:18:10]

That is a damaged body[00:18:12]

Exists in other worlds[00:18:14]

Countless other worlds[00:18:16]

Each of which stands alone in an infinite empty blackness[00:18:19]

For which no words are being conceived[00:18:22]

And where no voices are able to speak[00:18:25]

When a brain is filled only with damaged thoughts[00:18:28]

When a damaged body is filled only with pain[00:18:31]

And stands alone in a world surrounded by infinite empty blackness[00:18:35]

And exists in a world for which there is no special plan[00:18:40]

When everyone you have ever loved is finally gone[00:19:13]

When everything you have ever wanted is finally done with[00:19:20]

When all of your nightmares are for a time obscured[00:19:27]

As by a shining brainless beacon[00:19:33]

Or a blinding eclipse of the many terrible shapes of this world[00:19:40]

When you are calm and joyful[00:19:49]

And finally entirely alone[00:19:59]

Then in a great new darkness[00:20:16]

You will finally execute your special plan[00:21:07]
