Panzer Strider: 

or, We're all wayward bound

By, Drew Freak.

Thomas Roberts is being court marshaled. The man is in a cell and his Panzer Strider (a biomechanical clone that has been genetically modified to be used as a psychically controlled bipedal tank) is going to be broken down to be used as raw materials in a printer. Thomas stopped his unit from massacering a village on a small moon of Toi-715. They had their orders and he had a conscience. 

However when the Yama Yama man enters his life... Things get Phawking weird. The Yama Yama man is a near-omnipotent ambiguous force of nature and he looks like Koko the clown from the Max and Dave Fleischer cartoons.

He gives Thomas Roberts a ten-can of spun sugar (looks and tastes like cotton candy and this stuff gives the user psychic powers [though it can trigger psychosis and addiction.]) Then the clown disappeared. thomas used his psychic powers to fight his way to his panzer strider and flew off to freedom. But, Thomas will spend the next decade of his life hunting down a question mark... who is the Yama Yama man?

He will make friends with a psychotically induced hallucination that could be a sparrow or a dove named messiah. Fall in love with a young woman named Terry who has a different personality when she talks in her sleep. She will tell anyone in the room about her life in a strange nightmare realm called Wonderland and how her name is Alice. All the while running from and resisting Namomi Mercia and a Golum that skeleton glow in the dark named Little Horn: a pair of bounty hunters hired to hunt him down and bring him to "justice".

He asked messiah what to do... "how can I start over?" and the potentially hallucinated bird said, "You need guns lawyers, and money".

After adventure and misadventure to the point of absurdity, he lands on a planet of anthropomorphic carnivorous mushroom people. Who worships the Yama Yama man. Their sacred scripture is a thousand-year-old piece of music that they sang both bawdy and disturbing. that dates back to the root of humanity a 1908 Broadway song... from the pre-star-traveling days on Earth. A Broadway show tune from a thousand years ago... Or, the demon in the Stars?

Is it all paranoid rambling from a spun sugar addict? or is there a solution to this puzzle? Can the juxtaposition of language in it's contrast create anything but reductive absurdity? A stone falls till it hits the earth, is there anything to transcend? all this the meaning and truth of life will be explained you only have to keep turning those pages! Tune in next week for all these answers and more.

        an Opera in D-Minor (Call me little horn!)   I wish I was a poet... Looking up at the Spun Sugar (The shade of clouds of the near dark) Whistling some bluegrass tune, as my sweetheart cooks our supper (Some slow cooker chili with jalapenos and banana peppers shore would hit the spot).   I wish I was a catfish swimming through the outer dark of space eating the light and swimming in the abyss. While space pirates dance in their shuttle craft with the naked women they have "liberated" as the carrier they attacked is set ablaze from the inside.   ...The maidens are never to be seen again...   I wish my bones to be picked clean by some prehistoric critter... that I may be devoured... that the loss of my life (through one hell of a struggle) would leave me content despite the meaninglessness of the pain. Because I know in my heart that things worked out.   I'm too tired to be optimistic But lived enough to know It's a thin line between b

“My mission in life is to make everybody as uneasy as possible. I think we should all be as uneasy as possible, because that's what the world is like.”                                 - Edrward Gorey                             1          (A prelude and epilogue) "the ravens fly with quickening lines, dreams of mine but gets goodbyes." where shadows move, confused as signs and our lessons fall as loose as rhymes. Where the plague crow follows the storm yet, we are all so busy with our dream. The sign broken still stands alone, maggots also are fond of quivering my nightmare youth or sanity cries "Dreams of mine, remember" he sighs. of "give it your best please you must try." but in spite of the poetry still we die.                               2 Whenever the words escape or are said, "you deserve to get what you get." I feel as if I paraphrase the dead, "are we to believe miseries gift?" A gnostic with zen

Grace of God make us Holy.

  With nothing but a pound of flesh and the look in your brown eyes. sometimes I feel a confession of hearing this prayer of delight.   hide a reaction, begging for trust that I care for the sensual... not to be consumed by this lust as you undress like a ritual.   your pale nakedness honors god. A prayer full of confusion as much as your song is a bond, please articulate this lesson...   as your spread naked to see your body has a temple's warmth. A hallelujah song of the dream inside there has been a storm.   You're the bread of this church... in gratitude, I drink the wine. there is a fire but hope hurts. You're a light leading the blind.   Your music is a heartfelt drum like a war-cry fighting darkness. Victory rests on your tung. Your wet labor will bear witness.   The reflecting light of the moon though it is the light's glory between your legs, I am consumed... by the grace of god make us holy.
