"defragment" poems
Dissipate into oblivion
To become the nether
To lapse in consciousness
To enter the void
Flow to omniscience
Live without measure
To float through the meshwork
To drift through space-time
& Become the needle
To weave my percipience
& Teeter on the precipice
To transcend ascension
Ameliorate the ethereal
To glitch beyond boundaries
Defragment my surroundings
To eclipse the sun
In perpetual rapturing
Suspend reality
Be one with the everlasting

I never belonged in this home
The mold of this home is all
noise and fears and objections
Not the shape I can take up
It collapsed a long time ago
anyway
Pretentious people and trust broken
Pricking at my skin this wall a treason
When the head voice sounds like fears if it had a voice
just what am I hoping for
Ignorant engulfed the whole five bodies
I ran from arms to arms
Reeling through sound waves
Looking for a home that fits me
I guess there are arms willing to stitch me together again
Just defragment me a little bit more
This is the stranger's arms that is warm with hopes
This is home

defragment your performance
and collect the past
like marbles
rolling
in the backseat
of a mini-van.
your hands becoming
chaos as we grasped
at straws and questioned
nothing but
our silent breathing
and the stars we left
behind a crease in
the old bench seat
where I learned
your name.
like marbles in the mini-van
our chaos will roll on.

We're Replicants.
We boot up, we shut down, we most definitely restart.
Viruses make us sick and sometimes break us to the point where we need new hardware.
Sometimes they break our firmware and we need to wipe.
We have command lines to perform actions, and registry keys to keep memory stored of the things we learn.
The world is our power supply,
and when we boot up in safe mode,
like
some
people
do
every
day,
we only use the bare minimum of our potential.
