i and many like me children terrified
doing what was asked of us no questions no reply
placed on vessels impressionable ageless
the shoreline pushed the distance and
the bottom disappeared
i am not certain when it happened
but somewhere along the way
i lost my depth perception
i and many of me cared not to think of what it is
where it's from where it's going
where it's been and what it does and why it's even here
was it always there for us to use
and are we only here to use it
are we just are we kind am i kind
i and i alone am responsible for everything
every insect trampled on and every blade of grass
i alone am guilty of falling under mass hypnosis
apathetic narcissism strangling my pacifism
independently wrapped in an arrogant body
i am sorry i'll try harder i will try
it's just a post-it note it's just a pencil shaving
it's just a bunch of batteries
it's just an empty seat and an old deflated tire
an old unwanted memory
it's just another show just one more place to go
it's only one more stop along the way
it's just an autograph an audio cassette
it's just another thing to throw away
