For All We Know



I heard this conspiracy theory
That SCL spells Illuminati
Between the first and the second one
As seen here in what the first one has done

My syllables count as suspicious
In lines chockablock with symbology
Linegroups lined with numerology
Delineated to be delicious

It flatters me about the latter
And as for the former does it matter?

SCL can spell the other side
Hoping it is said the dead may come through
But the portal opens and they do
Timely immortal to rhyme the divide

Out here in our propinquity to
The mystery of the Joshua tree

My history as one of the two
In the name of the father and the son
More illuminating than I knew
But Brother Dog and I want to have fun

Some people say Brother Dog may be
An interdimensional entity
Somehow familiar with spirits too
Cheek-by-jowl with me in conspiracy

But this is it our moment in the sun
And for all we know it may be true
