nothing growing from something
find your kind of succession
chloroplasts and plaster
i answer myself's own questions
timothy the young boy
knows just what he's after
i don't really care at all and the night
is nearing much faster
the leaves are growing older
in the dark i lie here beneath them
the sun smiles as it gets colder
more than once or twice i have asked him
"why can't i stop thinking
and live pretty just like a flower?"
i question why i'm still blinking
and not closing my eyes at this hour
oh why?
i finally learned how to breathe and not be real
you can't really be alive unless you think and you feel
sitting lying and standing my three favorite positions
forgot the taste of candy right after i lost all vision
i'm attached to strings you don't see them
but of course i can't control my movement
i sit here quiet as dumb as a rock to slow
to make any improvement
you said you love me i think you do
that alone is amazing
smile at me and kiss my face but am i really a person?
