The fifth and final of the series based on the science fiction movie, Alien.

Visceral Causes
by Michael Doyle

The visceral causes bits of reaction
Connected to the phobias with distinction
A baby born with a visual scream
Birthing the nightmare, where might have been a dream

We are brought again to the height of creativity
Where the crew began to know the limits of reactivity
Collective dreams teach lessons that burn
In every nuance, human beings are born to learn

Hollywood's collective dream provides the window
In which shapes are grown into and become shadow
In the darkest corners of the coming reality
Escaping self-destruction is seen as a possibility

Like a piece of sand vibrating in a dance
It is the frequency that is world moving by chance
All the world feels its sense of inter-connection
Where past and future are not set in linear direction

Clouds tumble by into the blackest of screens
In essence the blank slate inside every human being
Dedicated to a mother whose name remains unknown
The remaining thoughts pass to us for what is shown
