Genius
Dawn scorches the swamp of souls in the hot Florida Sun, as the ingenue freshman struggles out of the muck. Yet he is buried in the crowd, crushed by the phallic tyrant of conformity.
Dance hall days gone, the scientist sequences the final strand of the antivirus and drops the beaker.
The Architect builds the Matrix in assembly.
An old man dies in bed, clutching his 1040EZ.
What the hell are you talking about?
Dude, man, this is some GOOD shit… pass that doobie, man, and toke up!!!
I can taste colors…
That’s nothing, I can hear pie!
Why did the walls just turn into Jell-O, Mr. Von Stroheim?
Here’s a hint: Take every third letter (starting with the first), convert it to its corresponding number (A=1, B=2, etc), add 3, reconvert it back to a letter. And I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results!
Bravo, Ludovic! Bravo!
What word do I start with?
“Genius.”
If you start with “Dawn,” it’s just some lame rant about Denis Leary.
Be sure to post it when you’re done.
Yeah, because

is particularly inspiring. I think there’s something else that needs to be done here.
You didn’t put the spaces in, ya big goof!
I got

Stupid decoder ring…
What, I’m supposed to put spaces in and then figure out which are the third letters? Or leave the spaces in and treat them as characters, because JL ZVUHW D X doesn’t look to promising, either.
“Genius” is a really interesting word. It originally comes from Roman mythology; one’s “genius” was not one’s intelligence but a guardian spirit that each individual had. Each year on one’s birthday, one would make offerings to one’s genius in thanks for the protections the genius provided. People weren’t the only ones who had geniuses (genii), tribes, towns, and cities each had their own genius, like the Genius populi Romani, guardian of Rome. It was common at the time to attribute one’s accomplishments with one’s genius rather than with oneself…divine providence, as it were, rather than the accomplishment of the person. Nowadays, genius is considered a personal attribute, rather than something additional to and seperate from one’s own personality. I know what you’re saying: what does this mean to me, an attractive and successful person who nevertheless feels a spiritual longing in my urbane and modern life? I’m glad you asked.

What exactly is a “phallic tyrant of conformity?” Would that be Hitler’s penis? On second thought, phallic tyrant is an anagram of “a crypt anthill,” and, more importantly, the command, “Act, Ralph Linty!” If only we could figure out who this Ralph Linty character is, we might be on to something.
If you want to help decoding this message of genius, I suggest using Andy’s Anagram solver, found here.
Y’know, Ludovic, you’ve been tellin’ me you’re a genius since you were seventeen, but in all the time I’ve known you, I still don’t know what you mean.
