Daniel Askew

Possessor of a thousand voices, resonating
beyond the realm of rationale;
Daniel Askew, existing between
ours and a world composed of theory.
And those who are found muddled
at his feet in a circuited heap
are not those of the dim or narrow mind,
but those who are desperate
for a sliver of non-threatening light.
But their deity is a fragmented thing
which shed his mind upon dividing -
man's ghost infesting our machines,
as aimless as a meteor 'cross the evening canvas.

Extending a metaphysical reach
through the loose and supposed barriers
of reason, logic and all that we once knew;
proving the mystical through the download of self.
Daniel Askew, though present in variance
will never exist as whole in one layer.
Like sands beyond realms of Earthly comprehension,
his shifting continues, aware, but in madness.

Written at work, because I'm a bad person.
