The things that keep us alive

Magnet hearts beating in sync

To the magnetic beat 

These wires transmit love

Spreading manufactured dopamine

Machine brains living machine lives

Simulated feelings bring robotic smiles 

We are curiously alive

Vacation Bible School

Shirtless sidewalk saint

Holding court 

A playground messiah

Breathing smoke and small town wisdom out with each breath

These are the passing summer days

When humidity rules as king

Restlessness is a natural state

Waiting for the Air to break

The Sun to set 

The Stars to start their nightly watch

The future is far and unimportant

Now is the only thing that is real

Shirtless he speaks 

His audience enthralled 

Dreaming of escaping their cages

Of Transforming into something bigger

Losing themselves in his World

Never noticing the clouds rolling in

Wind picking up

Scent of rain in the Air

Until it breaks and they scatter

Melting into the night

Shirtless he looks up into the Sky

Smiles and let's the rain wash away the day

Reflecting Light

What was in our hearts

Has turned to smoke

Slowly exhaled with passing days

Until there is nothing left but regrets

Fading memories of soft touches

Phantom kisses in the middle of the night
