mysteriously gifted military-grade
hearing aids
he began to hear insinuating voices inside his
brain
mysteriously gifted military-grade hearing aids
his began to receive insistent faux-telepathic
instructions
voice-to-skull
remote controlled
the origin to this receiver unknown..
despite this
other relayed guidance were the ones he quietly
followed
running interference the gentlest whisper
the parallel stream of unwavering consciousness
filled him with primordial trust so beautiful so truthful..
thus newly commissioned..
he climbed to the top of that tower on
that mission
the silence filling the distance and sound
firm on the lightness of such groundless ground
nothing and no-one could stop him now
ready to pull back the tarpaulin
his most secret cache
hidden so high and ready to fall on the mass..
the manchurian mass shooter so reassigned
from hired to higher mind ascending revified
realised
the genuine manifesto of let live and love
the fake telepaths absurd orders drowned lost
murmurs
mere mindless babble beneath the source as
verb
the source as verb..
so up that tower he climbed
climbed right up to the top
he would have the clearest view
crowds of unsuspecting people passed by below..
a moment of reflection and silence
then he opened his backpack
peeled back the cover
reached inside..
his handlers looked on from a boardroom
with anticipation licked their lips and smirked
vile..
then he pulled out his scope
and through the viewfinder
he focused his aim
then..
the pedestrians
he laid them down
he laid them down..
..floated glided landed rained
a glorious cascade of scented colours
bunches and bouquets of flowers
there and there landed the most magnificent transient garden..
astonished people delighted raised their eyes..
the crisis actors could only fiddle with their
vials
the self-proclaimed fact-checkers bemused stood
by
the stenographers back in the studios waited for
their cues..
breaking news..
no breaking news..
