needs

i do not need this air to breathe,
i need only to inhale smoke.

i do not need these eyes to see,
i still see when they are closed.

i do not need this mouth to speak,
it's best i keep it shut.

i do not need these fingers to feel,
to feel i have to cut.

i do not need this heart to beat,
without it my blood still flows.

i do not need this mind to think,
for it left long ago.
