..And another one.
I'm a machine! Another poem for you - I seem to be churning them out at a fair whip. I'm not sure if this one has a title yet (or a proper ending, come to that) but indulge me if you will...
Untitled
I put the key in the door
turn and push
conscious of my actions
looking through these eyes.
One day
I will open doors
no more.
I will not be conscious.
Alarms go off
Alarm! Alarm! Alarm!
Door snaps shut
Mortality is no longer
a cold shiver.
Tipping the scales
previously weighted
in my favour.
To my detriment
and the detriment of others.
Light flooded in
through that door
Life over
death!
Creation over
consumption!
