Us— the ones without vision. Not blind, just uninvited. We don’t have a point of view— we orbit around them. Deja vu is all we know. It’s our only map, our only god. We don’t understand. We don’t resist. We just continue. Like robots. Like borrowed thoughts on borrowed time. Until the head meets the pillow like a wall. And still—no dreams, just static. Television is both prayer and poison. It flickers, feeds, forgets us. Most people, poor souls, try to think in reverse— like it’ll bring back whatever it was we lost.

whatever we lost
Us— the ones without vision. Not blind, just uninvited. We don’t have a point of view— we orbit around them. Deja vu is all we know. It’s our only map, our only god. We don’t understand. We don’t resist. We just continue. Like robots. Like borrowed thoughts on borrowed time. Until the head meets the pillow like a wall. And still—no dreams, just static. Television is both prayer and poison. It flickers, feeds, forgets us. Most people, poor souls, try to think in reverse— like it’ll bring back whatever it was we lost.
