It is with great inspiration
That I compose this dedication
And call on a certain incarnation,
Which should prove a sensation.

It is with great expatiation
That you compose inner commotion,
And call on a certain reaction
Which should prove to be a connection.

With all that are exerting concentration
To the great words of my creation,
Like wide-eyed sheep to destruction,
You follow the pictures of my imagination.

And when you leave this exhibition,
It will be with a need for contemplation
On my many words of idealization
For a world with great skills of organization.

But if you still have the inner voice of preservation
You will come to the realization
That the meaning of my incantation
Is to create in you ... Frustration.
