I know you've always considered me A mechanical man - And I'll admit I do my share of clicking and whirring I do have my own processes - Alien to you - But I have all the same ones Too, and a beating heart within my Clank-clattering flesh. I watch You, like a camera, like a scanner Searching for a price tag. Bar codes Are simple. I like simple, but you must Not think me mechanical for it. When you see me, I adore it, but often you See preconceived pictures and I'm terrible at this, you know, dreadful. I should stop, there's no way to say - No way to show that I am more than - You know, that I am eyes and skin And marrow, but more too, more than Even you - Nevermind, nevermind. There's no way you'd think I'm Human: I can't even speak. I just click quietly to myself and bend Toward you slightly with an injured creak.
