I put the Eye of God
Onto my machine, as background,
Since, it’s only a machine, it’s not ‘Putey',
My old user/abuser, you see?
There is no personality…

(This computer is only a machine.)

I don’t know why I don’t like being
Looked at constantly; I have cats to perform
That action. I react badly, at times.

I don’t know why I’d like life as someone
Else. I eye God as God eyes me, fretful,
Since God eyes me. Everytime Time has
Lapses of worth, it hurts…

(I don’t know how I’d look, neutralized.
But, I feel It everyday; I do know...)

I thought to get rid of God,
But, I wasn’t strong enough, it’s all
I have of divineness. Even if
Misconstrue d, God stays In Place.

I don’t.

(I put the Eye of God
onto my computer‘s screen, to stop
the screams that arise in me.)
