lyrics

STROGENA:
Rildivam?

RILDIVAM:
Yes – my brother?

STROGENA:
I think I know why the humans are so….messed up.

RILDIVAM:
To borrow their vernacular.

STROGENA:
The thing is: they can conceive of happiness, but they cannot truly experience it, except fleetingly, or in retrospect.

RILDIVAM:
Mmmm.

STROGENA:
They can conceive of love, but their efforts to enjoy it have led them to invent dating services, pornography, and various vibrating devices including something called a—

RILDIVAM:
I get the idea.

STROGENA:
Above all: they can conceive of eternity, yet live with the foreknowledge of their own finite lifespans.

RILDIVAM:
Yes.

(a pause)

STROGENA:
I would like to show you my latest invention.

RILDIVAM:
By all means, Strogena.

STROGENA:
I call it the “Schnoozifoozilator.”

RILDIVAM:
And what is its purpose?

STROGENA:
It employs microcellular electroselfreplicating spore synthesis mumutechnology inside a Girardian Vacuum Chamber to generate independent sub-gamma particles….which are then concentrated and distilled into this odorless, clear liquid.

RILDIVAM:
Some is dripping, there.

STROGENA:
I call the liquid concentrate “Schnoozis”.

RILDIVAM:
And what is the use of this….”Schnoozis”?

STROGENA:
It negates the psychogravitational reality projection field and generates synthetic psychogravitons based on local alpha consciousness emanations….in short, it makes imaginary things….real.

RILDIVAM:
Do you drink it?

STROGENA:
No, contact is sufficient. I am working on packaging Schnoozis into a convenient spray bottle.

(after another pause)

RILDIVAM:
That is a fascinating creation my brother….but please deactivate it temporarily. I am most curious to see what will happen with the humans on their quasi-mythological escapade.

STROGENA: (turning machine off)
As am I….Do you think Boy-O’s fractured psyche can be repaired by this bizarre play-acting?

RILDIVAM:
Anything’s possible. Let’s go in for a closer look. Please shut down the Ether Illumination Matrix—

(machine shuts down)

--and the Gluon Intensifier…

(another machine shuts down)

STROGENA:
Yes, that’s better. I will also attenuate the gain on the main hyperthrust amplifier.

RILDIVAM:
Shh, let us observe. They have reached the foot of the great staircase.

STROGENA:
They appear to be at the edge of a fetid and murky body of water.
