I'M A MACHINE.

This one is a little old, written all the way back on June 9th. A little relic, this is! 


I'M A MACHINE.

i wake up on the dot   :   uncued
power      --> on
...wake...
...walk...
...woke...

clad in battle armor
wearing neverless than 12
twelve weighty pieces
combat attire
fighting,
     to be unplugged
i do as i'm told
     when i'm told
     where i'm told
questions are for wolves

...............................ejecting.......................................................................................................................

my brain slides out through a slot in my neck
i'm all pieces to man's summon and beck
i only mince what isn't censored
they call me the
     "defective unit"
     "ineffective human"
my armor shields from laser sensors
"life-form read   :   negative"
oil my gears and replace my parts
     downgrade the upload
     download the upgrade

installing..........................................................................................................................

do you agree?
to the Terms of Service
doesn't matter anyway
you've got a chip with my mind on it
we chant :

     sleep is for the weak
     pain is for the weaker
     art is for the weakest

we won't waste our time
surgically efficient
building the foundation -
steel, spit, plastic, you, trash, rubber, me, iron, dust, DNA
it all comes down to firepower

i've got a bigger button

i'm not afraid to bury your witless sheep

scan me for life-forms
i'm a metal cage
i'm a mental case
feel a pulse that shouldn't be there
break my heart; it had no place here

i'd have been found
if it weren't for chainmail
sheathed in gold-dust,
i am invisible
i answer no more to the nation indivisible
     (which is a lie, anyway)

i am awake under shuttered lids
i thought you knew   :   i'd never stand for this
i'll march with you
     but i'll sign left handed
     but i'll sabotage your lies
     but i'll live like paraphernalia
you think i'm a husk but i'm full to the brim
you can't imagine the pain you're in

i'll flip on the switch
i'll give your brain back
slowly slowly now we rise like zombies
babies to the world   :   so old

we are brimming voids
the secret uprising has begun
