Don't Read It

... ... ...

Surrounded by verses... �
Songlyrics and poems �
They test me... �
And discover my thoughts �
�
PCs and Notebooks and Laptops... �
The keyboards subtitute coincidences for inspiration �
And I cannot oppose this situation �
�
Am I writing it ? �
Am I writing it ? �
Don't read it �
�
No job �
No shifts �
No boss �
No foreman �
No personnel manager �
I clock in whenever I want �
I knock off whenever I want �
Do I give art what it needs ? �
Do I give art what it wants ? �
�
A hobby being in contact with machinery �
Words being manufactured... timelessly �
... ... ... ... ... �It is like servicing a conveyor belt system... �
Phrases and sentences shaping themselves to me on it �
�
Surrounded by verses... �
Songlyrics and poems �
They test me... �
And discover my thoughts �
�
PCs and Notebooks and Laptops... �
The keyboards subtitute coincidences for inspiration �
And I cannot oppose this situation �
�
Am I writing it ? �
Am I writing it ? �
Don't read it �
