"updater" poems
I have tried for too long
to fit into your various segments
I have played the roles of
Christian
Passionate lover
Rebellious son
The perfect one-night stand
Intelligent workplace hero
Humble soccer talent
Competitive PC gamer
College graduate, master's holder
Friend with benefits
Big earner
*** addict in recovery
Devoted husband
Home updater
Fun party guy
Deep-thinking poet
Music-lover, dancer
I fit into none of the roles you have to offer.
I am a primate with a more sophisticated brain and a cleaner body. I declare this with reluctant disappointment.
An observer would see our race developing, bodies and populations increasing in complexity and order; patterns like cities, data flowing through fiber cables, and social constructs aligning like carbon atoms becoming a diamond.
But we will not reach the perfection of a lab-created stone.
We have significant inclusions,
The most glaring of which is purposelessness.
Is there anyone watching?

I don't update much, this is very true, for my rhymes are betraying me, leaving my mind just like those leaving a substation. My inspiration, all lost. There is Nothing that shall recover this, for I don't quite know how. All hope is lost, and so is life. I am too busy, to even update on this unforgiving website.
