Deus ex Machina
I know I'm just some kind of machine
aware of my history and moment now.
I can guess at tomorrow and expect
another disappointing day or death.
We're born into the sea and crawl
to sand onto the rocks and end as
plaster statues frozen in Times
Square among junkies and ******.
Spinning on this top we call Earth
we can't understand and time that
is seconds and a billion lifetimes
we feel lucky and cursed and loved.
