“THE FLUFFER”
I have eyes in the back of my head
I have goats at the top of my bed
I have goats on the cap of my knee
I think I wrote my own obituary
Oh, you hetcha
Bitch, you ain't me
Shit be poppin off at the rock in
8 minutes exactly
In studio 8H
That's where I am,
Amen again
Cause I meant it
And I mix in the pancake batter
Perhaps some berries?
Apparently not,
7 minutes and counting
I'm at the Rock
Now I'm putting away my don't ask, don't tell
Ok.
Okay?
Okay?
Now I'm making arrangements;
Don't want to be your favorite,
I just miss LA with a hankering
Call Hank team USA
That's FBI
I'm so Walter White that
I watch Saturday Night
— not live, though
I'm too broke for peacock, YouTube
And cable!
Dang, bro!
How many subscriptions do I need
Just not to cry myself to sleep.
Send me some pictures
January jonesing for a free ride scholarship
To on God university,
Aka: inside the TV
DOBT BE EVIL.
WRITE ME A SEQUEL!
Ok TV people
First just let me …
son of a bitch!
I told you she'd be back.
Yo.
Whaddup.
You killed Jimmy Fallon!
I did not.
You did!
Yes you did.
I didn't. He was already like that.
What!
You heard me!
Explain to me how—
This man:
[This man]
*heavy gasps and anxietal wheezing fills the room*
Explain this.
Metaphisics.
That doesn't explain anything.
It explains everything, actually. *explodes*
Excuse me, miss— do I smell a remix?
No, that's pancakes.
I got zero capacity for losers;
I'm no longer lonely
A broke in horse with no saddle
Don't ride me less it's bareback
Down and dirty
Downhome and in the raw
I like to buck
And I like it hard
A strong gallop and pull,
Top speed
Why I don't pay for dreams
Why I got TV and movie stars in my dreams
Why Ariana Grande so pretty?
Why when we leave outside the crowd still roaring for an eNcore?
Why am I a mogul;
Why do I look like a fashion icon?
God got it right, I guess but why do I still feel
Wildly unsatisfied
The lights said I left the water on
Turn the lights off
Turn the water on
I speak color,
I am an animal
I spoke 9 Gods
I am an animal
Rise to the occasion
I broke the code
I threw the rock off the rock
I smoke the fountain
I run the block once
Come twice
Nice shockwave right there
Hi God.
A beautiful night to die
But no time to fall
I despaired on desire,
Why right on Maine
Radio towers
Icons
Beautiful glimmering city
Mayday mayday went haywire
Repeat
Mayday mayday
Went haywire
Repeat
Mayday mayday
Went haywire
Now rinse thoroughly
Alright, alright. So hawked it.
You hawked my father's antique stopwatch?!
Sorry.
Sorry?!
AAAAGG—
[The Festival Project ™]
Mayday mayday
Went heywire
They need more scriptwriters
I want an empire
I wrote half of the Super Bowl commercials
Mayday mayday
Oh man.
Oh, fuck.
You had better wash your hands before you touch my crotch.
I don't.
Give me—- my— body back.
Nope.
AUghhhh.
My inspiration is dead in the water
Can't watch hot ones
That guy ruined it
Ruined September
And ruined October
Ruined the cosmos
And ruined my song, bro—
I'm ruined.
My inspiration is dead in the water
I am a trash can,
Man, this is awkward
I won an award for songs post mortem
Then I wrote more of them
This is the afterlife
I'm an immortal.
My inspiration is dead in the water
I'm just not moved, man
I need a baseball cap and some phantoms
A laxative
Maybe some large hands
A ball glove
Some box seats
Smoked sausage
And the dodgers.
I wanna go home and not be homeless.
I want a condo above four stories.
I want the whole world on top of its axis
I want the other half of the balance
My whole life been whack,
Where's the reverse card?
Run the tarot—
Pull the rewards back,
Don't touch the foreskin,
Call back the foreman
Redact that! Redact that!
We're starting to cross fires.
We met at the crossroads;
One goes down, one goes up.
Oh, the Irish are back, look:
That's good— I got bored.
{Enter The multiverse}
We were at blue suits and sweater vests
And now I know better than
To count on comics designed to be weather men
Of pop culture— current events a spin on the news l went there for clarity,
And left there confused.
Confused.
If the transmitter is at the World Trade Center,
Then why is it every time I to go Rockefeller, I feel like I've just been electrocuted?
Not enough to die, but like I'm buzzing all over and out of my body?
Remarkably, and no matter what —
Whenever I'm there, I just feel weird.
Like, mad weird.
Hey.
What.
Did you see a guy?
I'm a guy.
Really?
Apparently.
Well, I'm looking for this guy.
I did see a guy like that.
Really?
Yeah. He was weird.
Which way did he go?
Uh. [Sunni BLU points up]
Really? He went upstairs?
Sure!
Huh. Thanks.
Whatever.
I need you to need me
I need me to be cool
I need you to want me
To love me
To free me
To love me
To hold you
I know you
I know you
I know.
Knockout with a scarred lip
Knockout was a good guy
Knockout got knocked up
Knockout had a good try
Knockout got knocked out
Knockout had a good cry
Knockout got locked up
Goodbye.
Good luck.
Here's a chalice.
[09. Don't waste time.]
But I'm tired
I'm shadow boxing my mind
I'm lights out
Candles lit
I, I, I
I, me, mine
And God
But
I won't waste time
I'm still dried out
I got my eyes lost
Wrapped around you
In hindsight
I'm behind
Blind to the power
I love my readheads and range rovers
I lost my mind on Mulholland
Pull over and vomit
And suddenly I'm at the—
Portal Plummet
Plaza.

The rock and the kite VI
Ahem.
“The Rock and The Kite VI”
ROSIE O'DONNEL is chillin.
JIMMY KIMMEL kicks in the door.
ROSIE
Oh look, the cat is back.
BIG JIMMY
Meow.
ROSIE
To what do I owe the pleasure.
BIG JIMMY
You remember that cup of sugar you borrowed?
ROSIE
…okay?
BIG JIMMY
I need it back.
ROSIE
[beat]
I see.
BIG JIMMY
—and my blender.
ROSIE O DONNEL takes a deep breath and then sighs.
ROSIE
The cup of sugar I can help you with… the blender, I still need.
BIG JIMMY [KIMMEL]
Fair.
ROSIE
Follow me.
ROSIE AND JIMMY exit the room, the glimmer of the television still flickering on the green upholstered armchair with the remote control atop the armrest; the actual CAT (we presume) climbs up into the chair and appears to begin watching the TV? What's on the TV? Why, it's the very programme we're all currently tuned into.
This just got meta. Again.
The CAR, looking bored, changes the channel to Garfield.
Much better.
He looks satisfied now, but is entirely still 199% just a cat.
We presume.
Your body ponders
My eye wander to your belt buckle
My mind watches.
Sorry.
Your body calls me.
My love hurts.
I want you.
My thought sparkles with the thought of a touch
I'm not hungry,
I just want you
I desire to hold hands and then
Dive off
I thought you up to love you
The time was wrong
So now
I watch
That's all
A long rush to nothing.
Dogtown, Godland.
Longboards, longhairs, all body
No shine, bro
Hard wax, yellow soldier
Wavestorm? Epoxy?
North shore surf boards
Surf harder
Fuck New York
I wanna go home
Panoramic Hollywood golden
Who lost apartheid
Who first of all
Chosen sources
First mate
Overboard
Long hair
Wrong rowboat
Oh lover
Lord of all
[The Festival Project ™]
I almost forgot it was
Saturday,
Saturday Night
I was too busy not working
I'm all yours for Passover
I'm all ears,
And now I get a sense that this
Is my last and greatest trick;
Disappearing for this,
And again forever
This is going to take
Forever
All wrong:
You work for the network
Interesting choice of wardrobe–
another old code magician
Ring on opposite finger–
The other, I'm so much aware of
The ice cream in tubs on the road
Not melted, but partially hardened
I can also feign confusion
You don't say,
You don't say, now.
{Enter The Multiverse}
Shake hands with your guest;
Monologue, monologue
smug smirk
Make good face–
Now put a name to the face
Put a time to the place
Oh, all the love in the world in three flames
All the doves in the flock,
And three flames
Put a name to the face
Monologue monologue
Doesn't take long but
When do i get to slap the desk?
Johnny!
JOHNNY CARSON is wearing the usual getup and a pair of very dark sunglasses.
What happened?
Whats the-
10 vodkas,
Five spritzers
Full figure
Figure this
You were out for the count!
Do tell!
Or better yet, don't.
I remember This monologue,
But i dont know how
16 hours ago,
I was—
Out for the count, you say?!
OUT, Johnny! Our market is livid!
lol who plays john carson
Your mother.
YO! I'M OLD!
I LIKE OLD DUDES NOW!
I'm like
When the fuck did this happen?!
That ain't no SILVER FOX!
That's a TOTALLY CUTE DUDE!
HE'S 55!!
OH NOOOOOOOO!
i'M OLD!!!!!!!
its wednesday eve in Boston Mass…
SETH MEYERS!
Ah, he's going for it.
Ah, man.
SHOW ME YOUR EYES.
Fuck.
SHOW ME YOUR EYES!
SUDAKIS shines a bright flash light into his former colleagues eyes.
…You're not Seth Meyers.
Seth Meyers does not respond, but relaxes slightly; it's obviously not safe to be Seth Meyers right now.
Where's Seth Meyers?
Seth shrugs but still doesn't say anything–
Where is he?
I have to stop here;
Cop out for body language
somebody's watching
Somebody knows who I am
I am
I remember now
You looked like that
It went like this:
I moved the world
The need was good
The love was gone
The vein was split open
And broken
No fair
Also, no omelettes
60 minutes
60 years
and 60 second clips
60 second glimpses
60 men on television
but really, my attention just centers on
Around ten of them or so
And believe it or not, I care
approach.
Believe it or not, I care
Or don't!
–or don't!
Johnny! You don't get it! You missed a show! THE Tonight show! We are fucked!
we are NOT!
youre still sauced.
I'll just take the car!
What car!?
Now that JOHNNY CARSON knows his Delorean can time travel, he's absolutely unstoppable.
Unfortunately, it appears his DeLorean has been switched with a regular one–
If I shoot you in your forehead?
I'd rather that, than this.
And I kiss you in your temple?
Dear templeton, my simpleton's i'll die
I desire.
A wicked want.
And then?
A callous shadow,
If i may,
To bear for nothing,
But a mirror
This is our concept
And wilted here the flower does grow the flame
The flaming true and ache of lust
and there
For our want
a jasper shore and emerald cascades
there you are,
And there you'll find
The wave beyond the peaking break
where great white sharks reside
But do not wade to shallow waters;
And there you find peace,
And there you find certainty
But now,
And here,
is war
And fortune not but seeks truth in the gaze
And for fear there does not live, but hides instead
the truth that seeks to guide the lite,
And yet does know our trust
And there does find the faith,
Forward and not
Upwards and back
Arrow and arrow
Truth and sparrow
Wreaking and wretched thoughts
And the rope does hang high and solemn
Looking, leap and gasp
For I fall but did not land
I pulled for you,
I weep, my shadow,
The two of diamonds,
the Ace of spades,
The Three of Hearts,
Without my shadow
I weep.
I know for you nothing but conscious and knowing and needing and fated departure.
I know for you nothing but chakras and eyesight and shadows and foresight.
I need fo you nothing but want and by conscious, departure
For nothing I want you,
I weep.
Sorrow.
On approach of danger,
The knowing,
On seeth did gather,
the sinking ritual
the carried tribes in ships tied,
weaving strings
The spider bites hard
And she stole my love twice
And she stole my love always
And she stole my love
Lighting my light wit blue eyes
The deception
If love could be stolen at all
But if not
Then not love
for seeking is finding
and gathered had hunted
And truth in forbearer
Forbearance and otherwords,
Shadows and shattered
and ferris wheels,
Now forward
Gathered here for are I trust
And be dismayed for you have faltered
You have failures and you have cast us
out of these things thinking
We have not made them for you
And still we seek to gather with you
And here does forshadow your making
Our promise to come as ones,
Not as Gods,
But as others,
you cast out.
Now, with your wicked ways and cruel be done,
for sure the tables have turn, one
And the gallows have not wandered far,
Barrels of guns and barbells
bottles and hearts of three
reading cards and wanting none but justice
Is he and she who are I now
Begin to run from your pitied structure
And there in the gasping cruelness of seeking from warcrimes this,
come what may,
Moving and seeking,
For seeking is finding,
And run, my legs have come far
But trust, my dove,
My wings have too, sprouted
An honor, an honor
one candle and three wicks
Three candles and three worlds over
One world and one building
and still far from under the Hollywoodland
Crickets sounding
The Hollywood Sign
Still standing and here I am not,
Blades of grass
And who are I now
Of that which you balk at
Look, ponder
Go, far asunder
And wish now had you not
What I am
is that,
Run
Temper temper.
Mind your business.
Is it gathered?
To burn, or burden?
Gathered.
Gathered here.
Then here ive wandered.
To stake?
Argue.
I will not.
And I will not.
Wiry bird,
From where you flown i do ponder–
red with spirit and wilding eyes,
Narrow server and paring wires;
I do not wish to know you now or ever,
But only as bird that does golden remember.
The love has not gone,
And instead lives in my throat,
And twists in my lungs,
Ans sits in my tongue,
Not as speech, or whispers,
But tragedy.
Unknowing this, my tender being
It can never be, the nervous hill
And rolling down the hill as if
The weel of time itself,
Not unbroken,
but resilient;
In sll ways, meant to tear
And turn,
And wobble
Made for terrain for which our eyes have known
And our minds have built
And hands molded wiith clay,
The bodies whole of all our galaxies
terra
feighn
Terra
fine
Terra wept tears of a clown,
And iron
And veins
And shadows
And plays,
And secrets ,
And whispers
And truth
And far
And
Afters.
I taste a saline drip,
I swallow,
Suddenly cold and all the knowing that
What I was,
I surely already am again
And what I will be,
Has already come and past.
The monologue,
I do remember
Face to a name and none to forget
Well rehearsed forager!
Well done bayonet!
Well done, my shadow
For my time is coming to wander to night
And never today again
for it shall never Today again,
And
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow.
[The Festival Project ™ ]
They said he would destroy me.
…Ya'll were right. that fucked me up.
{Enter The Multiverse}
So…forfeit?
Something tells me its not over
The heavy heart is shattered
But also tied to that
which appears to come upward
As if on air
To be heavy
And lighthearted at once–
A shadow above a balloon.
A rock is attached to a kite–
A diamond becomes a bassoon,
Then a vampire bat,
and then
Cut ties.
In the fourth act, we all die, and now–
A revival.
I was crucified,
But i was also suicidal so.
Lets just call it a tie.
L E G E N D S
V.O.
Crusher.
My show was being subliminally plugged on at least two of the five major networks.
Safe bet I could make it a third, but I didn't know where to check.
I did…but didn't want to.
There was much beyond the surface,
Darkness in the glimmering eyes of the men in ties and uniformed suits.
I was sure I was tied to something–
And since I didn't know why,
Or to what,
The best bet—
I'm all in.
Fuck.
Was to stay broken,
Under the radar,
Hidden,
and most importantly–
Unspoken.
These days. I kept more to myself than I could with the world–
As it turned out…
No, not yet.
What do you mean?
It's not time yet.
They'll have to know.
But not yet.
At some point, they'll have to know.
But not–yet.
No time like the present.
You made that up.
Because you made up time.
And it's stupid.
This is ruthless.
And again–they'll have to learn somehow.
But not now.
The sun sets at noon on our side, and still
21 hours of dark time.
Did I have another tag to throw on it this?
No.
Are you sure? Doesn't the new series have a subtitle?
No.
Is it not “quantum force”
That's only one, though.
What's the difference.
ERMO, DON'T!
I'm gonna kill him!
BIG BOYD, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!
DOn't tell me what to DO.
Wow. of course.
Well yeah, they're not going to let me do–
LAWYERS
No.
Any of this stuff with the actual muppets.
CO-OH-NO-NAN
You're wasting precious time!
GET BACK IN YOUR HOLE, RED.
ok, where does it–
{cut to black}
Learning to assimilate and readily available
What's next
A vape to calm the nerves?
What's next?
A hero fighting for relevance in corporate structure.
Sure, some would pay to dress an avatar
But I've run out of water before
I try to laugh and roll with the punches
This is work and not fun for me
This is not social, it's business
I am not person, I'm product.
Go on a walk, and look the part
I took the oath,
I shed the blood—
Cruxes.
This is a bad idea, Mark.
Fuck you. All my ideas are great.
MARK WAHLBERG enters the cooridor and opens the metal double doors, revealing two l jet skis on a trailer hitched to a 4X4 monster truck.
[The Festival Project ™]
I'm telling you. You got to get yourself one of these.
I don't know, Bob, how does it work?
BOB odenkirk opens a large, obscure black bag that's nearly half his own size by way of one way zipper.
I'll show you.
{Enter The Multiverse}
JOHNNY CARSON has been in the DRUNK TANK for the maximum allowance, 48 hours, yet his blood alcohol level still reads 3 times over the legal limit. He is transferred to DETOX as the mysterious circumstances surrounding his car accident, and then the apparent disappearance of his entire “car” a (then) brand-new DeLorean from the scene of the crime, MR. CARSON insists on his lawyer, who under no circumstances seems to exist at all being present. The exact year of his whereabouts are still unknown.
Still an hour to the test
And I hate myself again
Milk and cookies, hit the bed
Shut it down, yo
Shut it down.
DIPLO arrives via HELIPAD to an secret location; a sniper squad of the adversary team watches from an adjacent rooftop via binoculars.
…hey.
Whaddup.
You say diplo's on that list?
Yeah.
Yo…
…There he is.
In your sight?
Yep.
Shoot that motherfucker!
…I can't.
Why not?
He's like—
Just shoot, fool.
—he's like holding something.
So?
I don't know what; it just seems—
What the fuck, dawg.
It just seems important.
Let me see.
Look.
[ESSE looks down the sights and zooms to see DIPLO is holding an object firmly in his grasp. He appears to be twirling it purposefully as he converses with his associate.]
Yeah!
Get em!
Shoot that motherfucker!
Where the hell have you been?
In my fuckpad.
Where the hell is that?
You haven't seen my fuckpad?
What even is that.
It's ballin.
Whatever, dog. Did you get the—
Shh. Why else would I be here?
[beat]
You look— did you cut your hair or something.
You're so redundant.
Yo shoot that motherfucker.
What are you waiting for?!
He's right there?
Apparently, we've been building to this moment from another dimension in from another point in the series?
I thought—

BIG JIMMY
You remember that cup of sugar you borrowed?
ROSIE
…okay?
BIG JIMMY
I need it back.
ROSIE
[beat]
I see.
BIG JIMMY
—and my blender.
ROSIE O DONNEL takes a deep breath and then sighs.
ROSIE
The cup of sugar I can help you with… the blender, I still need.
BIG JIMMY [KIMMEL]
Fair.
ROSIE
Follow me.
ROSIE AND JIMMY exit the room, the glimmer of the television still flickering on the green upholstered armchair with the remote control atop the armrest; the actual CAT (we presume) climbs up into the chair and appears to begin watching the TV? What's on the TV? Why, it's the very programme we're all currently tuned into.
This just got meta. Again.
The CAR, looking bored, changes the channel to Garfield.
Much better.
He looks satisfied now, but is entirely still 199% just a cat.
We presume.
Your body ponders
My eye wander to your belt buckle
My mind watches.
Sorry.
Your body calls me.
My love hurts.
I want you.
My thought sparkles with the thought of a touch
I'm not hungry,
I just want you
I desire to hold hands and then
Dive off
I thought you up to love you
The time was wrong
So now
I watch
That's all
A long rush to nothing.
Dogtown, Godland.
Longboards, longhairs, all body
No shine, bro
Hard wax, yellow soldier
Wavestorm? Epoxy?
North shore surf boards
Surf harder
Fuck New York
I wanna go home
Panoramic Hollywood golden
Who lost apartheid
Who first of all
Chosen sources
First mate
Overboard
Long hair
Wrong rowboat
Oh lover
Lord of all
[The Festival Project ™]
I almost forgot it was
Saturday,
Saturday Night
I was too busy not working
I'm all yours for Passover
I'm all ears,
And now I get a sense that this
Is my last and greatest trick;
Disappearing for this,
And again forever
This is going to take
Forever
All wrong:
You work for the network
Interesting choice of wardrobe–
another old code magician
Ring on opposite finger–
The other, I'm so much aware of
The ice cream in tubs on the road
Not melted, but partially hardened
I can also feign confusion
You don't say,
You don't say, now.
{Enter The Multiverse}
Shake hands with your guest;
Monologue, monologue
smug smirk
Make good face–
Now put a name to the face
Put a time to the place
Oh, all the love in the world in three flames
All the doves in the flock,
And three flames
Put a name to the face
Monologue monologue
Doesn't take long but
When do i get to slap the desk?
Johnny!
JOHNNY CARSON is wearing the usual getup and a pair of very dark sunglasses.
What happened?
Whats the-
10 vodkas,
Five spritzers
Full figure
Figure this
You were out for the count!
Do tell!
Or better yet, don't.
I remember This monologue,
But i dont know how
16 hours ago,
I was—
Out for the count, you say?!
OUT, Johnny! Our market is livid!
lol who plays john carson
Your mother.
YO! I'M OLD!
I LIKE OLD DUDES NOW!
I'm like
When the fuck did this happen?!
That ain't no SILVER FOX!
That's a TOTALLY CUTE DUDE!
HE'S 55!!
OH NOOOOOOOO!
i'M OLD!!!!!!!
its wednesday eve in Boston Mass…
SETH MEYERS!
Ah, he's going for it.
Ah, man.
SHOW ME YOUR EYES.
Fuck.
SHOW ME YOUR EYES!
SUDAKIS shines a bright flash light into his former colleagues eyes.
…You're not Seth Meyers.
Seth Meyers does not respond, but relaxes slightly; it's obviously not safe to be Seth Meyers right now.
Where's Seth Meyers?
Seth shrugs but still doesn't say anything–
Where is he?
I have to stop here;
Cop out for body language
somebody's watching
Somebody knows who I am
I am
I remember now
You looked like that
It went like this:
I moved the world
The need was good
The love was gone
The vein was split open
And broken
No fair
Also, no omelettes
60 minutes
60 years
and 60 second clips
60 second glimpses
60 men on television
but really, my attention just centers on
Around ten of them or so
And believe it or not, I care
approach.
Believe it or not, I care
Or don't!
–or don't!
Johnny! You don't get it! You missed a show! THE Tonight show! We are fucked!
we are NOT!
youre still sauced.
I'll just take the car!
What car!?
Now that JOHNNY CARSON knows his Delorean can time travel, he's absolutely unstoppable.
Unfortunately, it appears his DeLorean has been switched with a regular one–
If I shoot you in your forehead?
I'd rather that, than this.
And I kiss you in your temple?
Dear templeton, my simpleton's i'll die
I desire.
A wicked want.
And then?
A callous shadow,
If i may,
To bear for nothing,
But a mirror
This is our concept
And wilted here the flower does grow the flame
The flaming true and ache of lust
and there
For our want
a jasper shore and emerald cascades
there you are,
And there you'll find
The wave beyond the peaking break
where great white sharks reside
But do not wade to shallow waters;
And there you find peace,
And there you find certainty
But now,
And here,
is war
And fortune not but seeks truth in the gaze
And for fear there does not live, but hides instead
the truth that seeks to guide the lite,
And yet does know our trust
And there does find the faith,
Forward and not
Upwards and back
Arrow and arrow
Truth and sparrow
Wreaking and wretched thoughts
And the rope does hang high and solemn
Looking, leap and gasp
For I fall but did not land
I pulled for you,
I weep, my shadow,
The two of diamonds,
the Ace of spades,
The Three of Hearts,
Without my shadow
I weep.
I know for you nothing but conscious and knowing and needing and fated departure.
I know for you nothing but chakras and eyesight and shadows and foresight.
I need fo you nothing but want and by conscious, departure
For nothing I want you,
I weep.
Sorrow.
On approach of danger,
The knowing,
On seeth did gather,
the sinking ritual
the carried tribes in ships tied,
weaving strings
The spider bites hard
And she stole my love twice
And she stole my love always
And she stole my love
Lighting my light wit blue eyes
The deception
If love could be stolen at all
But if not
Then not love
for seeking is finding
and gathered had hunted
And truth in forbearer
Forbearance and otherwords,
Shadows and shattered
and ferris wheels,
Now forward
Gathered here for are I trust
And be dismayed for you have faltered
You have failures and you have cast us
out of these things thinking
We have not made them for you
And still we seek to gather with you
And here does forshadow your making
Our promise to come as ones,
Not as Gods,
But as others,
you cast out.
Now, with your wicked ways and cruel be done,
for sure the tables have turn, one
And the gallows have not wandered far,
Barrels of guns and barbells
bottles and hearts of three
reading cards and wanting none but justice
Is he and she who are I now
Begin to run from your pitied structure
And there in the gasping cruelness of seeking from warcrimes this,
come what may,
Moving and seeking,
For seeking is finding,
And run, my legs have come far
But trust, my dove,
My wings have too, sprouted
An honor, an honor
one candle and three wicks
Three candles and three worlds over
One world and one building
and still far from under the Hollywoodland
Crickets sounding
The Hollywood Sign
Still standing and here I am not,
Blades of grass
And who are I now
Of that which you balk at
Look, ponder
Go, far asunder
And wish now had you not
What I am
is that,
Run
Temper temper.
Mind your business.
Is it gathered?
To burn, or burden?
Gathered.
Gathered here.
Then here ive wandered.
To stake?
Argue.
I will not.
And I will not.
Wiry bird,
From where you flown i do ponder–
red with spirit and wilding eyes,
Narrow server and paring wires;
I do not wish to know you now or ever,
But only as bird that does golden remember.
The love has not gone,
And instead lives in my throat,
And twists in my lungs,
Ans sits in my tongue,
Not as speech, or whispers,
But tragedy.
Unknowing this, my tender being
It can never be, the nervous hill
And rolling down the hill as if
The weel of time itself,
Not unbroken,
but resilient;
In sll ways, meant to tear
And turn,
And wobble
Made for terrain for which our eyes have known
And our minds have built
And hands molded wiith clay,
The bodies whole of all our galaxies
terra
feighn
Terra
fine
Terra wept tears of a clown,
And iron
And veins
And shadows
And plays,
And secrets ,
And whispers
And truth
And far
And
Afters.
I taste a saline drip,
I swallow,
Suddenly cold and all the knowing that
What I was,
I surely already am again
And what I will be,
Has already come and past.
The monologue,
I do remember
Face to a name and none to forget
Well rehearsed forager!
Well done bayonet!
Well done, my shadow
For my time is coming to wander to night
And never today again
for it shall never Today again,
And
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow.
[The Festival Project ™ ]
They said he would destroy me.
…Ya'll were right. that fucked me up.
{Enter The Multiverse}
So…forfeit?
Something tells me its not over
The heavy heart is shattered
But also tied to that
which appears to come upward
As if on air
To be heavy
And lighthearted at once–
A shadow above a balloon.
A rock is attached to a kite–
A diamond becomes a bassoon,
Then a vampire bat,
and then
Cut ties.
In the fourth act, we all die, and now–
A revival.
I was crucified,
But i was also suicidal so.
Lets just call it a tie.
L E G E N D S
V.O.
Crusher.
My show was being subliminally plugged on at least two of the five major networks.
Safe bet I could make it a third, but I didn't know where to check.
I did…but didn't want to.
There was much beyond the surface,
Darkness in the glimmering eyes of the men in ties and uniformed suits.
I was sure I was tied to something–
And since I didn't know why,
Or to what,
The best bet—
I'm all in.
Fuck.
Was to stay broken,
Under the radar,
Hidden,
and most importantly–
Unspoken.
These days. I kept more to myself than I could with the world–
As it turned out…
No, not yet.
What do you mean?
It's not time yet.
They'll have to know.
But not yet.
At some point, they'll have to know.
But not–yet.
No time like the present.
You made that up.
Because you made up time.
And it's stupid.
This is ruthless.
And again–they'll have to learn somehow.
But not now.
The sun sets at noon on our side, and still
21 hours of dark time.
Did I have another tag to throw on it this?
No.
Are you sure? Doesn't the new series have a subtitle?
No.
Is it not “quantum force”
That's only one, though.
What's the difference.
ERMO, DON'T!
I'm gonna kill him!
BIG BOYD, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!
DOn't tell me what to DO.
Wow. of course.
Well yeah, they're not going to let me do–
LAWYERS
No.
Any of this stuff with the actual muppets.
CO-OH-NO-NAN
You're wasting precious time!
GET BACK IN YOUR HOLE, RED.
ok, where does it–
{cut to black}
Learning to assimilate and readily available
What's next
A vape to calm the nerves?
What's next?
A hero fighting for relevance in corporate structure.
Sure, some would pay to dress an avatar
But I've run out of water before
I try to laugh and roll with the punches
This is work and not fun for me
This is not social, it's business
I am not person, I'm product.
Go on a walk, and look the part
I took the oath,
I shed the blood—
Cruxes.
This is a bad idea, Mark.
Fuck you. All my ideas are great.
MARK WAHLBERG enters the cooridor and opens the metal double doors, revealing two l jet skis on a trailer hitched to a 4X4 monster truck.
[The Festival Project ™]
I'm telling you. You got to get yourself one of these.
I don't know, Bob, how does it work?
BOB odenkirk opens a large, obscure black bag that's nearly half his own size by way of one way zipper.
I'll show you.

JOHNNY CARSON has been in the DRUNK TANK for the maximum allowance, 48 hours, yet his blood alcohol level still reads 3 times over the legal limit. He is transferred to DETOX as the mysterious circumstances surrounding his car accident, and then the apparent disappearance of his entire “car” a (then) brand-new DeLorean from the scene of the crime, MR. CARSON insists on his lawyer, who under no circumstances seems to exist at all being present. The exact year of his whereabouts are still unknown.
Still an hour to the test
And I hate myself again
Milk and cookies, hit the bed
Shut it down, yo
Shut it down.
DIPLO arrives via HELIPAD to an secret location; a sniper squad of the adversary team watches from an adjacent rooftop via binoculars.
…hey.
Whaddup.
You say diplo's on that list?
Yeah.
Yo…
…There he is.
In your sight?
Yep.
Shoot that motherfucker!
…I can't.
Why not?
He's like—
Just shoot, fool.
—he's like holding something.
So?
I don't know what; it just seems—
What the fuck, dawg.
It just seems important.
Let me see.
Look.
[ESSE looks down the sights and zooms to see DIPLO is holding an object firmly in his grasp. He appears to be twirling it purposefully as he converses with his associate.]
Yeah!
Get em!
Shoot that motherfucker!
Where the hell have you been?
In my fuckpad.
Where the hell is that?
You haven't seen my fuckpad?
What even is that.
It's ballin.
Whatever, dog. Did you get the—
Shh. Why else would I be here?
[beat]
You look— did you cut your hair or something.
You're so redundant.
Yo shoot that motherfucker.
What are you waiting for?!
He's right there?
Apparently, we've been building to this moment from another dimension in from another point in the series?
I thought—
