Generate

Skipping stones along a crumbling ground
How does it work with no one around?
If there is no one to read
What do I write for?
If there is no one writing
What do I read?

Ambition against the machine
Flesh gives to the metal
A pen’s work is easily destroyed
The cloud is forever

Art is human
Art is mine
But wherefore art thou reader?
When mine art is displayed?
