I Wish I Were a Floating Orb
Functioning organisms
More disgusting
than the bugs we kill
Exact proportion fingers
Fragile tissues enveloping
Functioning five on each hand fixed
Mechanical and filled with fluid
Growing thick endless keratin
((___-@Slash their tips open;;!?)))//
Anyone can touch me
Stuck in skin feeling everything
Displayed for all to see
Twitch and pulsate with every thought
Let them know I am living too
Blood flowing through vessels
Rushing and circling around
Never stopping their cycle
''':'+:'"'''''Disrupt them!,,!!!!,,,,,,,,,,,
Systems so smooth and delicate
Pitifully codependent
Reliant on my own action
Running as I sleep
Running as I speak
Running as I write
As I bite on what keeps it alive
There's an engine in my body
And I hear it all the time
An itch in my epidermis
That I can never scratch
Cerebrum craves ventilation
But the air will never reach
Electricity through my cells
Too fast to understand itself
Chemical imbalance
Atoms mocking neurons
Made of them all the same
Salivating chewing on meals
Broken down in my intestines
!!!!!!!!;;;;;;;;;;starveitstarveitstarveit''''&----&--------
Digestive enzymes gurgling
metabolizing proteins
Microbiota taking home
Half my cells are not my own
Stripping out nutrients
Sucking them in
Leaving equally gross waste
Biological urges
Hunger, lust, pain, love, birth, envy
Cravings awaiting fulfillment
Satisfaction far from being met
Air going in and out
In and out
In and out
Bodies in a tight room
Exchanging the same particles
Going in and out
In and out
In and out
Breaths carrying tiny bodies
::'':-------HOLD IT IN;??(())))))
Eyes that see only what's in sight
Light reflects upon your figure
Pupils dilating making way
Neurons transferring translations
Cortex visualising scenes
Glands secreting molecules
Signaling discrete messages
Altering target receptors
Opening gated channels
Flooding swarming chemicals
Functioning embarrassing mess
Although I will never confess
I wish I were a floating orb
