thoughts like wires
old electric long decayed
signal not getting through
some confused and some delayed
look where it's gotten me
all this thinking and being alone
i still want you
please don't hang up

i think you're a martian
that is you were just a dream
your touch was like forest fires
now i'm the freak who lit the thing
they caught me taking pictures
threw me down and hauled me in
are you happy now
i'm giving up
you win

your teeth sharp packets
ones and zeroes in your smile
i know your protocol
it is wonderful it's vile
but don't look at me
i can't process much
program shutting down
i shudder from
your touch

your'e looking forward
i'm out on the coast
you look to see me
a machine trapped inside a ghost
we've lost all meaning
in this ocean where we drown
all is metonymy
as far as i
have found


don't follow me
i swear i'll disappear
this is not autonomy
this is desperation fear
we're killing metaphor
and you know we can't stop now
this is all we've got left
don't let it get you down
