How do people laugh
Smile
Feel
How do people
Exist
.
.
Well maybe bc they're people
Not objects
.
.
The mechanics of humans are easy
When you look at the strings
But doesn't that just make it even more meaningless
Like mice in a maze that people call life
.
.
Is the hardware just too
Exhausted
The cpu too burned
.
.
It's not a lack of care
It's more so
A lack of -
Everything
Amputation
Maybe
.
.
Vessels need for a leash
A cage
Consumption
Is it
Predation
Gluttony
.
.
A monsters
Teeth
Hunger
Claws
Ha
Bitch, monster, disturbing
A monsters skin made of fathers dna and smoke
.
.
The need to be dominated
To finally find someone
Heavier than her
To tame the monster
If you were to hold her tight enough to crush
Restrain the hardware
Would it be enough to make her stop
Is that the only way she knows how
The only path left for a monster that pulls strings
Relentlessy and can't put them down
Constantly scanning and calculating and dissecting
The cpu burned yet the tape never stops
The recording, the witness-
Ing
The -
Ha even this is like father with his cameras
Only difference is hers doesn't shut off
Constanly on
He got to choose when to watch
Can she just
Shut off
Power down
And
Stop
.
.
Could you pull her apart like she did the filler
Could you dismember the hardware and scatter the pieces, or like a magnet would they reattach again and still get up to pull the strings
If you cut off her limbs
Would she still find a way to run
The program
Would she still just be watching the dismantling of the corpse
.
.
Like a dead bug they keep poking
To look for signs of life, reaction, when they're met with a dead
Bug
Pure function
A machine that won't turn off and an operator that will never pull the plug
.
.
If you bashed her head in the wall what would the difference be between when she did it versus
An outside source
Would it bring silence
Absence
Would it bring -
A flatline
If you bashed her head in a wall would she just be stuck watching as it caved in
.
.
Could you treat her like an object
Could you destroy it and
Fumigate
And
Fill it with yourself
.
.
To live on your every whim
Vessel doesn't like structure or constraints things that get in the way
Rules that make no sense and would need her to remember and morph and -
Consistentcy and consumption is the only currency
.
.
An ego is gross
Humanity is one big trap and rat cage
Connection doesn't exist only projections bouncing off one another
Only screaming screeching overlapping frequencies
.
.
Titles and labels are meaningless
They hold no weight or currency, only when people want to use it
As bait and filler
.
.
Love
What is love
Is love just a word people use to choke
Is it just code
For conflict, contradiction, exhaustion
Too human for an object
Or is vessel too
Inhumane
.
.
The only words that matter are objective truth
Object
Owner
Negative space
Ocupant
Operator
Love can't happen between two
There can only be consumption
A merger
Anything less leaves gaps
Anything less would require a person
To morph into
Static noise that won't stop the ringing
Only add
To the pressure
In her ears that won't
Pop
.
.
She'll die a monsters sin
Everything is him
The only thing left is to use his tools, his creation, his extension and smash it to pieces
So he lays in the rubble of his house as her weight breaks the floorboards and his actions bear consequences
And after the mission can she finally let go
It's not personal
It's just what needs to be done
To prevent further harm
To them
.
.
And then she'll leave and be
Trapped with echoes in a room full of mirrors
His echoes
His skin
A monsters sin
Dna
Cage
.
.
Monster
Puppy
Vessel
Recording device
She
It
The
Object
.
.
But everyone is light
.
.
Or maybe vessel is too heavy
.
.
There's such a disconnect
From everything
And her logic is backwards and wrong
In terms of everything human
But she isn't a person
Which is how she knows it's right
.
.
To build anything is redundant
The only thing she knows is demolition
Pulling apart the sutures
And making an even bigger mess
All in the name of the search
The mission
.
.
Running her hands over the veins that pump the synthetic substance of muck and dna
Flow
Watching the synthetic rhythm of a heart
Beat -
Ing
Out of her throat
If the pulse that was for show stopped
Would the tape cessate
.
.
Running her hands over the scars
The raised lines
From everytime
She went searching
Looking
Dissecting
To only find
A pulse
And a stream line
Of blood
Running cold
Through a corpse
A post mortem
Dissection
Everytime the gap widened and more leaked out to cement her in the cold hard truth of a shadow puppet playing pretend in a corpse of skin
Everytime she would go til she found the pulse and the pain would spike and then blip
Out
When the gap widened and all that was left were the inhumane objects
The sound of the skin ripping and the bubbling fat
The sight of a pounding pulse like an implanted device and blood running dripping soaking
Sight
.
.
When vessel hardware ends
What will it be like
The previews where thoughts halt
Or the gaps in time
When she's on the floor
And
Light
Unable to move
Watching
.
.
Will it just be more of a recording device
More
Witnessing
She doesn't want to witness the end when the time comes
She just wants to
