lack of feeling is what I am feeling am I Luke Skywalker warm? the beast inside desperately wants to cause chaos To make a scene; a cry for help from deep within. It's easy to find meaning in almost anything: A leaf in the wind, a letter I need to send my finger twitching, my bike needs fixing, Crumpled foil on a plate, the class I need to take My legs get tense My hands get stressed. My eyebrows are bent My life is blessed? I need local anesthetic To numb my numbness. Perhaps dialogue will encourage my indecision. Perhaps Max won't burn after all.
