Neo-Cortex Rage
take away the cortex ov a dog & all that dog does as a result
is experiences rage, rage, rage. cut away a dogs cortex
in science experiment & that dog shows only rage
& they wonder why that is. & theyre slicing, slicing down
theyre taking out, putting their hands in, reaching around
plucking out what, witness, plucking out memory, plucking out e.c.g.
plucking out what, plucking out abuse, plucking out past, plucking out
plucking out musics, plucking out liberty, plucking out our wings
plucking out our feathers, theyre plucking, plucking out our eyeballs
1 time they changed the menu, served trout & 24 trout were served
their eyeballs staring up, & us vegetarians laughing & the rest ov
the hospital dining room howling & thats how it is – these 24 slabs ov meat
eyes milked over on the slab, staring up. the science cuts out, cuts out
cuts out, cuts out the brain & i am feeling neo-cortex rage, cuts out, cuts out,
cuts out, & i am dog in neo-cortex rage & they have temerity to
wonder why
