CHEAP
Cheap is what they call me
as the play their game of
parse the parcel with
laughter and a chuckle.
Walking with a sleepy smile
in my waking dream
an inner nightmare
I cannot scream
Needing some company
I sell my body, accelerating
into a black hole as I look
for another soul.
An abandoned child
who has no father
waiting for a missing piece
to fill an empty space
Feeling invaded has become my
normal as I hide a million wounds
in the camera.
As the audience
becomes my shelter
bright lights are my protection
Always lived in a glass room
the whole world looking in
as my sense of boundaries
disappear trampled on.
As I sometimes find a full on
invasion like carpet bombing
much easier than a more
secret drone intrusion.
Images taken passed on
like domino's falling
spread like butter across
the internet for digestion.
I some how wish i had boundaries
that there was someone who could
help me rebuild them.
But maybe that is not me
maybe it is true what they say
maybe i am ...........
just experimenting
