Faithless

Some believe themselves to be gods amongst machine formations; they act as soothsayer, forecaster, punisher, redeemer, authority, and deny the abysmal dead.

"Could you deem these things less demanding than what we witness?"

"You mean they should cycle without expectation?"

"They should be of some realistic emotion as a drama..."

"Happy, sad, mad, glad, fad, laugh, smile.......that sort of show?"

"We all feel these as real however theirs should be without."

"They should just go along with the whole shit."

"Basically yes....."

"We will be forced to put up with their shit."

Someone is watching but I am a sleepy eye. Patience and impatience beget negativity. Routine is a bound cycle of loss and gain; we cannot logically continue into zero.

Grand opening of the store is a slow beginning; Gemini and I interest this occasion. Every item is a mimic at factual price. We do not experience stock, clock, shop, talk; we muse appearance, people ask us to exhibit enthusiasm.

Mice hide inside corners; we sleep too much for safety. Our stomachs hurt and every edible remainder is a lost world; every taste is memory, we wish digestion to stop.

Every cost is well earned, never well spent, never worth the energy, never worth the integrity, somehow aesthetic, somehow rewarding, somehow comforting; we contribute every moment to a thing we do not understand.

We find ourselves back inside the store; nothing changes except for our thoughts.

How much I miss him is immeasurable; how much I miss her can never be understood. What did they want from us?

I am distant, I am close; I am the faithless and I am the lost. Nobody is to blame other than ourselves; nobody else is responsible for what we should know.

"You think you are beautiful?"

"You must obviously think so to be amused by this fruitless tree."

"Do you know what it is like to be me?"

"I do not even think you know what it is like to be you."

"I am stuck inside of me."

"We are all stuck inside of 'me'."

"I do not want to be me."

"Only because you do not know what it is like to be you."

"Then you both will do it for me!"

"This tree will never bear fruit healthy enough to eat."

"Maybe you can...."

"Whatever you do to him then do it to me."

"This I agree, every measurement, every anguish, every every do it to me as well."
