do u go 2 museums?

Museums are the place we gather
To tell stories about ourselves

Museums are the place we preserve the artifacts of
Art, History, Culture, and Science

Museums tell stories through the lens
Of unique and precious objects

Museums are the place
Where Infinity
'Goes up on trial' [via Bob Dylanbro]

The museum is a tomb
The museum is a temple
The museum is a forum
The museum is a monument
The museum is our life

Objects and objects
Paintings and dioramas and statues and maps
A labyrinth of galleries and display cases
Dim lighting and hushed voices
Tourists and school groups and lonely college bros
Searching for Truth
Searching for Meaning in the kaleidoscope of material things
A bucket of Knowledge splattered on the walls and stretched up some classical columns

So much to read
So much to see
So much to consume

Feel overwhelmed by all a museum represents
And all it wants me to feel

A woman sitting in a chair

Some stuffed grizzly bears

A painting behind three layers of glass

A dinosaur and some naked ghey cavemenbros

A building inside a building

I’m just a normal bro
Trying to ‘figure it all out’
I just want to learn
I just want to think
I just want to live a meaningful existence

Museum Bro Museum Bro
Your labels tell me what is right and what is wrong
You preserve what would have been lost

But try as you might, Museum Bro
You cannot prevent the inevitable
The decay and the rot of the human race
Though in the meantime
You offer us a pleasant platform on which we stand
To conduct the heavy business of denying the harsh reality
Of our eventual
Extinction

Museum, Museum,
I am lost in you, Museum
And when the sun blows up
And everything within you melts
I will be lost in you 4evar
