0 + 2 =1 Nomeansno

0 + 2 = 1
Race that to the finish line at a dead run
Life is short and love is fleeing
Before these masks, haloed with snakes
Hissing like rain on the pavement
The blind are deafened and the lame are made dumb
For that queer equation this is the sum:
0 + 2 = 1

0 + 2 = 1
Before the feast, chops on the block
A word to the wise is a fork into flesh
Everything stretched under God’s great hand:
A mouth to a breast, an axe to a tree
The hoot of an owl in the dreams of a mouse
Count on your fingers, it’s the rule of the thumb, but
0 + 2 = 1

0 + 2 = 1
Yes and no are like day and night
One breaks as the other is falling
Question the answers, stir the solutions
In the end, for light, you must burn your conclusions
Night and darkness love silence above all
Not the equations of sun-loving apes
Or their prayers for the dead of a world that’s to come
0 + 2 = 1
