Listen to poem:
Leave those tears abaft how did you come to be?
Water in the lungs rehearsed the narrative say within the seam,
seeing you as you speak, Achilles' heel.
Listen to the oncoming excuses shout!
One once marveled at the front, forgetting one's feeling
Too late to retract, created myself cannot allow to turn back.
Every which way has answers, to be understood.
Not a pretty sight, shall hide, continue my contradiction, wash away those eyes.
"Stars still shine", words upon the blind.
What does "I" know? Chance of one slithered through, penchant now you.
I'll take the blame for fears came to light.
Did I not manage to conceal, was it not a perfect sight?
Factual truth; Entered the scene non-identical in front or behind,
Connected to the sun light upon one.
Only in your direction, not the same to mine.
Shell is a cloak, look within... you are forever the empty crease that lays beside me on what could have been.
...Biological Machine.
