No longer human, human again

No longer human.


Zeros are cereal bowls in a friend’s living room

Ones are lamp posts at night during a drive through Orlando.


The wires are tangling together

Like vines in a forest,

Joints rusting

Like an old door hinge of an abandoned car.


Scenes fly through my database

Decisions made and kept for further evaluations.

Tears of lighter fluid as calculations pass by

As functions and equations crunch under the gears of bone.


Rip me open, be the inventor 

My organs,

yours to examine, 

to configure.


Feel the arteries under the metal plating,

The pumps of steel and brass

Keeping my heart beating.


Tear my mechanical heart out,

Disrupt its rhythmic movement

So carefully written out in cereal bowl zeros and lamp post ones,

Rewrite it

Re-configure it,

Let it be rejected. 


No longer human.

But more so than you.


1st floor warringah mall.


rib cage to open up the same way the automatic doors do

eyes to close as well.

Frames of glass and wire to see,

an aid in being human again.


9905 3269

and the smells of wottle and bottle brush 

brush up against my senses

like the cat in the neighbours car

Waiting for its friend to return.



shop 5, 1-3 sturdee pde

dee why

the sight of the water dragon

the bird bath


And there that distant feeling returns.


my hands,

cold from the salt infesting the water

and the touch of the stone wall

between me

and the car park of flowers

between me

and a place i feel

a place i know


a place that makes me human again.
