I am the progeny
Of lightning and stitch,
A Franken-hybrid
Of genius and glitch.

My circuits buzz with

The shell remains
picked clean by hungry vultures
ravenous with greed.

because nobody likes Chocolate. 

For transforming the freckled clusterbomb on my face,
into baby skin smoothness!

Because freckles are humanity’s...

Like a child
Who's lost his way.
