Mechanical Man
Too many tiny minds
telling others what to do
the sighted led by the blind
even tho' they can't do it too

"What are you doing here?" she said
leaning her body against her side of the door.
She couldn't smile, didn't want to frown
as terror coated her tongue.
"Well, I come to see you, dahlin." he cooed
