what i fought
swore, never
i will refuse
forever
it’s hardwired now
down to bone
a smile on my face
no path home
i’m part of the machine
i’m helping it run
i’m grease in the machine
and i’m having fun
no mirrors
to see the past
binoculars
tunnel vision
it’s coming on fast
particulars
and i’m winning
no fears
i’m part of this machine
and i’m helping it run
i’m grease in the machine
and i’m having fun
where am i
and how
who am i
right now
i have traction
a slim with a smile
with long hair
legs for a mile
mutual attraction
touching dirties
time is flying
a week turns thirty
where am i
and how
who am i
right now
i’m part of the machine
still helping it run
i’m grease in the machine
still having fun
where did i go
how did i switch
i fell inside
and here i twitch
do i return?
will i?
is this better?
it’s still inside
