my mind is the current of neurons& snyapses
my life the blueprint of evolution
genetic definitions
overridden by media dreams
that leak toxic
make suburbia glow with phospherus
as my skin flares and fades like the chameleon
falls prey to the deserts delusions
and my love is an 18th century death
a man who wrote in supposed rings of science
who claimed to never deny his nature
and Nietzsche you frequent my dreams
whisper to me "we are that which must overcome
itself again & again"*
so I'd like to strip to simplicity
deny the consumer capitalist that controls me
find the complacency of Ghandi
until language diverts
words lose hold
and my lips form "omh"
but I can't speak in mockery
nor preach upon pulpits of hypocrisy
for each night I lay upon cotton economics
and awake to the manufactured hum of
plastic digital sonics
rising to take the body
but never taste the blood

until I've grown weary
of the things that scare me
as my fear is the muscled proof of evolution
survival that twists altruism selfish
and gives justification to my excuses
my greed is no sin
but merely pawns conversing
against the monotony
something only luxury can break
"but it don't buy you no happiness"

as I know bullshit when I speak it
because I'm that pacifist getting her ass kicked
trapped in a vault with water rising
exposed wires awaiting liquid assault
and I know switching the light
will stall the process
but I can't and I won't
all because I don't want
to die in the darkness
now let me end this poem
on someone else's note
"every woman is a rebel and
usually in wild revolt against herself"**

*Nietzsche
**Oscar WIlde
