silvery and slippery 
life remains...

and in large part, synthetic,
only the rabietic were on board.
Tilting towards quixotic,
their fevered...

Of

Who began and started out in life with
a perfectly normal human sized brain

Born with a wise old head on his

I’m torn between two worlds,
I’ve been changed into different moulds
I’ve become an unknown being
In a world of unseen meaning.

Another that showed me undeserving...
