An Archaea

Walk the line along every artery vine and X-out the leaves
Avert your eyes from all external disguise that betrays the trees
A world-renowned tectonic plate underground in Los Angeles
Found alive out on East Mulholland Drive
You'd grazed both your knees

All matter is subterfuge
Any opponent begs to lose
The frontline's resolute
Apposition once-removed
The old terminal oversight
An inclination bang to rights
Success in short supply

But we're going beyond the rank-and-file
Along every company mile
To turn nine degrees
A world-renowned tectonic plate underground in Los Angeles
It takes a while for the other end to align their shortwave radio dial

Two wholes collide but nothing's multiplied
A mirror on either side
Two veneers on a great divide
It's not something that I would choose
If you want it you never lose
It's not even half the truth
Apposition once-removed

It's not something that I would try
If you want it you never die
It's nothing you can't abide
You're already justified
An archaea made deicide
