We have somehow deprecated our own species.
To become outdated hardware.
A candidate for the scrapping site.
Worth only to be a spare part.

21 years of distorted love
made me catch myself in love with a machine
love plainer than water
yet i seep into it
like my lust seeping into the bottom of my shorties
when your cursor is beating
my vulnerability is coded inside the asterisks
when your words lean into my pupils.

i thought i hate it when you barge into our world
and pirating our sea of paint and ink with your deformed craft
now you're here, in my binary bed, exposing your zeroes and ones
and i pause my humanity for an eternal hour.
hanging out with a friend and his friend who became my friend,
loitering in front of a twenty-four hours convenience store,
0% sizzling down our throats,
and getting nicotine-sick afterwards,
it was that simple, sometimes.
descending the downslope
soggy road bury my sole
a wooden stick lying between the woods
willing a hand for my trembling foot

over the flat trail
solid gravel balances my composure
I lie the stick above the lane
for it to partake in another adventure
inspired by my journey to a river
To forgive is our weakness
To pardon a crime so unjustifiable that
Our body shutdown in memory of it
Being static and null in our judges
In respect for our own calmness that
I hope it won't be a calamity of my
Own rationality in how I assume
Which is good and evil.

But somehow, to forget is our prowess
A strength that we teach ourselves so we
May let go of the bad memory
that may strangle us until we retch our spirit away
That's why, we bury it under our soil
And water it in hope
That it blossoms thorn roses so we remember not to touch its stem
And hurt ourselves again.
