altered human states

while the other neighbours made a mess

I slept nineteen hours

after being awake for almost thirty

I changed all my states accordingly

altering humanity

according to what my brain needed

food, drink, thoughts from all over the places

books, internet, real people

people on the phone and in newspapers

everywhere I could find

food for thought

while the dumb others did not hesitate at all

to dump rubbish into the common corridor

cryptocurrency implemented

in complete darkness

of their malignant morale

inhuman behaviour from Taiwan

where life means little mollified

by cartons in abundance and bicycles

do you feel safe now?

unseen and untouched

unpunished for your actions

done with total disregard

I did a vivid vivisection of the void space

I swept everything back to the place

where it belonged

another joke

of this block

while you consume

I create

your food for thought

I doubt you care though
