MTV-theory

  All these dimensions go to eleven.
The camel passes through the eye.
Robert Smith sings it’s Just Like Heaven,

though it’s summer snow behind this seven.
After many a summer, the snow will die.
All these dimensions go to eleven,

a mathematics these strings will leaven,
a superstring strummed like a pair of thighs.
Robert Smith sings it’s Just Like Heaven,

& he’s right by a factor of seven.
Every kiss kiss vibrates with good bye.
All these dimensions go to eleven,

but we’re down here in four, not eleven,
insane in the membrane of you, of I.
Robert Smith sings it’s Just Like Heaven,

only a theory, a half-formed lesson,
the truth in drag, the outrageous lie.
All these dimensions go to eleven,
every string humming, just like heaven.
