see the shape uncurling
in the corner of my vision
pour myself a drink
destroy my inhibitions

was trying not to wake it but
I know that it can hear
it licks its sticky lips
as it smells the scent of fear

[down]

[again]

[NOW]

[and then]

data in my retina
push a billion gigs an hour
the skin begins to sizzle
while my hand turns up the power

push another drip in, keep the
bioware hydrated
let the creatures slip in
till the void in me is sated

[home]

[again]

[down]

[again]

handgrenades pouring from my lips
and
nuclear fallout from my fingertips
see my missiles scoring a direct hit
watch my world fall apart with all of this

you can see them stand there every night
try to make their minds up, and get it right
they'll talk until the trains are gone
not me, mate, I know when I'm done.
