Secular.

i've been described as,

for giving objectivity

for speaking ironically

for speaking with you feet in your mouth!


the wiring in my crown

the dowels in my vertebrae

my knees

oxidized.

Stuck. to the. Right angle

i look with my silver scleras

the writing on peoples fleshy, human foreheads

is my transparency when i read it out loud

and my mistake, when heard by human eardrums

why would you say that?

feigning wounds inflicted by my semantics

from my copper voice box

is not my responsibility when they lead a shield-less lifestyle

is not in my programming to teach myself otherwise


and perhaps;

Stagnation is the folly of the machine man.
