I've been handed new lives to live,
multiple perspectives, laser-like attention spans,
kaleidoscope vessels, an ****
of acute senses;

all at my disposal; I am free now.

But every now and then
a freedom is challenged
by another sentient being,
dependent, under developed;
a weak and vulnerable specie.

We're as one,
thinking tanks at war,
on our own;
the bee
and the honeycomb;

Health is only a
decoration; our insides
a personal labyrinth

a complex tomb
if you will;

and will you shall.

I am ushered in
like a corpse
full of science;

a personal example displayed
only in public;

The reality and it's
magic;

the distracting
sense of self;

and the absolute
breathing project.

We're free now,
let's enjoy this
enslavement while we can;

While we're
still sinking
in fruit.
