Literature Text

I want to take a microscope to your brain
See what your thoughts are made of

Can I pick apart the fibers of your heart?
Which are the gears that make you tick?

You have levers in your arms
and bellows in your chest.

Tell me why your eyes have shades

Your nerves: are they ropes to pull,
or levers to flip,
or buttons to push?

Explain to me why you dream
and why, to you, this is the only reality?

Are your emotions just simulated reactions?
Or are they craving animals inside you?


I want to know what makes you live.
This poem makes me think of what a contemplative robot would think when he observed humans.
