afraid to see the words on paper

that it is not me

that it really is him

that unmanageable, and totally

that out of my control

that all given to a god but not saved

that feral and redacted as a

personality type inventive modus operandi

that property of the hive

befallen the curse of tech and knowledge

that weapon to draw and aim

at the reflection of my

foot before i yell to "stop

resisting" and pull the trigger

and i never ask the bigger questions

or where the coffee

is or get uncomfortable

for him or act like i know if i

don't have control i

can't lose it i

am tedious but needed if

only to remind those whom

might forget this is only my way

to have it all unfigured out

written on a hidden page

penned with invisible ink and

patience leaving suggestions as

as "leave a penny to take

one later" concept
