Ghost In the Machine

Silent...... The machine waits patiently Dark........ In the corner........ Like a sleeping cat Hidden menace That ozone smell It knows too well.... Dark...... Crackle of static........ Low hum........ Dark........... In the corner... Like a sleeping cat What is it thinking? Muted lights .... Blinking........ The Ghost in the machine Malevolent glare It knows.. It knows, you are there Dark........ In the corner....... Like a sleeping cat........ The Ghost in the machine Sliding across the mat Dark......... Changing shape Creeping across the floor Low hum...... Crackle of static It's coming............... Coming for me........... Lights gleam....... Ghost in the machine I cannot flee.......... Creeping feeling Shadows stealing This is not a dream This is now, me.......... I have no place to go......... Paralyzing dread Except inside the machine Absorbed instead. To become it's host....... The muted glow The ghost.........
