You stare at a black box
You say you like it better this way
Where the disconnect
Cannot affect
Troubled by this regurgitating behavior of
Reducing our senses to sight
Because we barely listen
The box doesn't stare back
A disease lies hidden underneath
Asking permission to speak
She pulls the wires from her wrists
Audible pops
Like octopus suction cups
come from her brain
Shocks like jellyfish
And static
sizzle sizzle
In her eyes
Her lips on mute
Like she is the device
