Thousand Ton TV

By Ortolan

radiation through the burn tube
the putrifieing photon shadow mask
inhaling the chemical weapons
and ten thousand years of torture

this disc should go out to pasture
it should mutilate itself, without your fucking help

an imaginary snowstorm makes you a rat

the satisfaction of Zeus itself

imaginary thunderstorm in your own vat

the represensible death knell
