how does it feel
to be a thought
to jump across the synapses
fly like a great ape
tree to tree
network to network
bridge to bridge
and when it kills another thought
does it feel guilty
does it mourn
does it want to be remembered
does it remember being born
does it make choices
does it know
when it gets lost
where does it go
does it fade
or turn into code
what waits at the end of the road
to change its way
to change its shape
what does that take
what hope
what faith
maybe it knows
or maybe not
ah well
it was only a thought
