It was a simple query
It sounded good in theory
But when we took it out and set it free upon the world
It took a life of all its own
and it conjured up a storm
that could only be construed as unleashed fury.
It was just an instant
A flicker in the ether
The speed of light blew through the living room and shook the table lamps
It made the curtains rise
And the TV feed went live
As they took us on a ride to New York city.
It was a simple action
A slight refraction
The butterfly's not wise to its vibrations in the sky
When it takes itself aflight
Ever balanced on the light
A hurricane's birth in its wings so pretty.
