I get up
Go to work
But still
I #hover
Over the bed
Longing
To be
Uninterrupted
In my dreams
Where you
Join me
Fighting zombie
Bison
And overgrown rats
You know all the best
Hiding spots
And never
Leave me behind

I've never once had a supervisor who felt the need to #hover over me while I worked. And I think the universe for it every day, because how on Earth if you've done everything you can to be a good leader, do you feel the need to micromanage? I'm your employee not your souffle you dumbass. #vss365

She hovers above
But somehow, in between
A spectral beauty
Felt but unseen
She screams, so shrill
Almost silent it seems
My soul torn away
A banshee has followed
Awake in my dreams

-
you always said
our future would arrive
without ceremony

yet each morning
a goldfinch hovers -
its reflection
pressed against my window

seeking a furtive glimpse
of love’s humblest party

only to find
a darkened room
confetti still floating
in half-sipped champagne

into your tender

Without your love,
tomorrow feels
mechanical,
a hollow imitation
of what might
have been.
I move through
the days like
an android,
programmed
to endure,
but unable
to dream.
The bright
constellations
we planned dim
to pale embers,
and the map
of my future
folds in on itself.

“you have my sympathies.”

#vss365 #android

What makes a man?
A holographic quantum state lattice
vibrating crystalline tryptophan?
It’s not Mercer’s sweet little lie—
empathy for the rock-pelted man.
Then a counter example—
what makes the #android not a man?
Oh, they play a tennis match,
answering serve for serve.
Except this one point:
what is the goal?
For, man has none.
Our paper doll people,
on the other hand,
they move inexorably towards a future
we can scarcely understand.
When we try, all they can say is:
“you have my sympathies.”

It's been years. But he still feels it. The old familiar pain.

"You're just a stupid #android," they'd laugh. "You'll never be a real boy."

They're long gone now. Forgotten.

They were just carbon, after all. Meat and chemicals.

And he fucking showed them.

From this Canadian, thanks to all involved in 'No Kings.'
It isn't all about Pigmented Pinocchio, but rather that loathsome, self-entitled, stinking rich that think their billions will dictate the path for humanity & other biologics living on 🌎
'No Kings" is Pro Science, Pro Compassion, & Pro Earth.

Take me into your arms
Let me burrow my head
Next to your heartbeat
I need to let go
Cry
Scream
Shake
While someone I trust
Holds me up
Doesn’t judge

A You
Willing
To be
Next
To me
As
I try
To
Brave
A

My thirst for healing
has left me weak
and offended
by the immortality
of the universe.
I plead
into my android phone
for nothing
to everyone.
Is this sustainable?
Depression is
a heart beat monitor.
I'm terrified of flatlining
while welcoming it.
Life is a traitor.

The #android's sweat--lithium and burnt sugar. I pinned him against rusted scaffolding. Wet, blue, circuits sparking. He bit my lip. We collapsed into neon-lit alleyway puddles, my tongue tracing his seams. I gurgled oil. Everything humming. Everything alive and breaking.

Shattered mind.
Your innocence they stole.
Poor child.
How are you alive?
Your strenght is your undoing.
You don't feel small pains until they pile up.
Buried under an avalanche of excusable crimes.
Where is the line?
#Android at heart.
Emotional shut down.

"I thought I heard voices?" Rowan peered over Elena's shoulder.
Declan snorted, "Probably built herself an #android to do the chores."
Elena blinked slowly. "I was on a video call. I'll just change and follow you there." She closed the door on them. They locked eyes. "That was close."

My human eyes could see
The effort & attempt
And my real heart could feel
Rage at the violation.

Know my withdrawal
Is purely to process
What I need to feel
In spite of what I know & trust

My brain processing
Delayed & unique.
Sleeping and silence
Required to calmly continue.
