    I see you for how you really are,
    the ghost in the machine

    invisible to consequence

    the missing link between man and fate,
    a dim reflection of what's to come
    an audience of one pretending
    that rows of seats will be filled
    for a final bow

    cut a cameo of love we'd rather forget
    into a highlight reel, unscripted
    and half-finished
    static smudged pink lipstick
    in between stillframes
    I see plot developing like a bad habit

    in dark rooms and white noise

    invisible to consequence

    witnessing metamorphosis born
    from bad decisions, in the carcass
    of conviction

    I foresee what turns to be
    a foregone conclusion.
    can I kick it?

    drink your poison aristotle-
    you know
    it will make you immortal,
    dead and immortal.

    rinse your second soul.
    i don't want to hear you die,
    but i guess it can't be helped-
    the people
    will carry your new face
    through the streets like crime.
    and i will have to know
    that you became eternal
    while i,
    the empire
    that never knew warm water,
    will crumble.

    aristotle,
    i hope your bones break like an almond
    and that poison splinters your blood.
    every king will wish you were never executed
    because you made humanity realize
    that ideas, never really die.
