My brain shuts down but my eyes are still open
Giving the illusion that I'm alive
and human
But I am not
I am a robot
With human hair
I may still blink
But lack the capacity to care.

graciously
you allow me to stay
I thank the walls, the halls and corridors
for sheltering my most beloved
what thanks do I have to offer
to repay such great a debt
do I kiss the feather?
do I hug tiles that have hugged your figure many, many nights?
it smells of you
but feels nothing like you
why won't you hold me back?
must I take the shape of tiles?
then tiles I will be

You are not
what has happened to you.
You are how you react
to it.

Some plants will drown
in rain
that nourishes others.

The wind is cold
The sun is warm
My feet are sore
My heart is numb

I hope you don't mind
I've gone offline
to infuse myself
with adamantium

Sticks and stones haven't
yet broken these bones
but rampant selfishness
and greed just might

Why do they look at my demons,
Before they look at me.

lookin at black stars
and shining skies
listenin to running cars
and passerbies

im a happy depressed man
ive got my toes in the water
and my heels in the sand
got my hands on my head
and my wrists in the air
