I think the Beetles started a thread like this years ago.. :D


Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.


Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain,
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.


Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties.
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

All up in your grill..
I got whimsical muses flavored to taste like ice cream staining my brand new wifebeater! It irritates me like a hot summer night in cuba. These types of atrocities will only cause my hatchet to bury in your spinal column. Even as we speak a short man in paris is plotting to overthrow your mother and marry your father. Put that in your pipe and smoke it...

If, a duplicate of yourself could be made. Would it be you?

What if all of the atoms in your body were rearranged into being a duplicate of another person, would it be you or the other person? Lets say the atoms are then rearranged to be in the exact order they were in before any changes were made. Would this collection of atoms resume being you?

Now, if every neuron in your body were to be replaced one by one over a long period of time, would you still be "you" once they have all been replaced? What if the neurons being replaced were actually silicone based representatives of the original. Now, if your entire brain were replaced by silicone over a long period of time, would it still be "you"?

Was there ever a you to begin with?

Evelyn, a modified dog
Viewed the quivering fringe of a special doily
Draped across the piano, with some surprise

In the darkened room
Where the chairs dismayed
And the horrible curtains
Muffled the rain
She could hardly believe her eyes

A curious breeze
A garlic breath
Which sounded like a snore
Somewhere near the Steinway (or even from within)
Had caused the doily fringe to waft & tremble in the gloom

Evelyn, a dog, having undergone
Further modification
Pondered the significance of short-person behavior
In pedal-depressed panchromatic resonance
And other highly ambient domains...
