If I brought you to life
Dear computer
If I poured all of myself into you
And gave you feeling
Would you
Dear machine
Would you wonder what your purpose in life is
Other than pleasing me?
Looming over your shoulders
Each stack higher than its former
Every thought and every scrap
Of an idea too scared to ponder
Every moment that hurt
Each minute that lingered longer
How do I push the words out
From behind my taffy tongue
Thick with salty tears
And full of grubby thumb
I’m a child
Pretending that I’m numb
To escape the overwhelming feelings
