Aluminum Foil Influence

There's a thread of conspiracy

Sewn right into my headgear

Over under and whipstitched

In contrasting color

Constantly constricting my thinking

Slowly drawing itself tight

Until the blood flow is just about right

For alternative thinking to take place

It isn't very false

And it isn't very true

It's totally alternative

And tells me what to do

Nine sources tell me one thing

While one tells me another

Logic says one thing

But my gut screams "However...."

That one thing seems to comfort my thoughts

Coddling my mind

In cheap velour

From the bargain bin at K-mart

A blue light special of an idea

So I'll latch right onto that

It isn't very false

And it isn't very true

It's totally alternative

And tells me what to do

My head is now an alternative shape

Thanks to that too tight hat of mine

Made of shiny upcycled tinfoil

And whispering secrets to me all the time

I'll not question its authority

I'm way past that now

Two miles past the military checkpoints

Heading into Area Fifty-One

Helped by the invisibility afforded me

By that low tech high magick

Too tight sparkling custom made

Tightly stitched protective tinfoil hat

It's not very false

And it isn't very true

It's totes an alternative

Telling me what to do
