A song? Or perhaps a poem?

November 25, 2008

Poetry?

Inflexible

Stiff in movement, rough to the touch
Steel pipe for bone, cable wires for muscles
Feet drag, no lift, knees don't work
hands lie, not limp, but motionless
Head still, no movement, not even muscle twitch
for cables do not twitch

Look forward, no perefials, almost blind
Listen not, no recognition, nearly deaf
No thought, only to breathe
in...
out...
in...
out...
Smell nothing, senses refuse to work
Salivation impossible, a disease?

Heart pumping, but not emotionally
checked out, no returns, gone for lunch...permanently
Emotions dead, no love
no hate, no grief, no thanks

Inflexible,
stiff in movement, rough to the touch
checked out, no returns
no love, no hate
in...
out...
in...
out...
ikiru.
Shi.


I haven't decided what category this should go into...Hmm
