You can make a matrix pattern out of almost anything
Tracing causal imperfections in the information flow
Counting out the footfall of professional identity
And the number is
Five-five-three-three-double-two-three

As the primacy of digits ticks the boxes
So the codes that they unlock begin to run
And the synapses are snapped in to attention
The observer, the observed become as one
Reeling out the numbers
That are mapped in short-term memory
So you key them in

Five-five-three-three-double-two-three

(Ten, six, four, three
Sixteen, seven
Twenty-three)

Five-five-three-three-double-two-three
