blessed thing

A walking contradiction

The cover doesn’t match the appendix nor the preface

But why stick to just what the connections of our neurons tell us?

We are smarter in this decade

To be more than,

More than a robot.

Left, left, spin

Down the street, flat feet

These Blinking lights, are just my eyes

Stomp and stare, no need for hair

Bang on this tin chest

An empty casing to infest

Take the grenade & pull the pin

Oh what a blessed thing!
