lyrics

Desire Goes On Infinitely

Monroe stepped up, “Let us be resolved to revolve
Around Lilica together in an instituted
State, preceding Tlon, with all the grace
And dignity of everyone for himself.”
“Here, here!” “Hooray!” “If all else fails,
We can just try again!” Great laughter and
Merriment ensued, and Fing said,
“Lilica in her form is gorgeous
And desirable. I know that blood lust
For conquested possession
To pass on as evidence of grace
In the graceless world, my having
Influence over the events of my fate,
At least once, to start again with the connection
To Lilica’s child, the innocent face
Of the future.” Jefferson said, “Our sustenance
Is taken care of by Lilica. We are freed from
Want and need by our love of faith and chance.”
The Jester replied, “Having sustenances met is not equivalent
To being without desire. It makes desire greater,
And that is the Chinese Box of existence.
Desire goes on infinitely. Let us find Lilica
And ask for some tolerable explanation
Of how all this came to be…and of what is to come.”
