the alike
small similarities
form vague alliances
that mask true identies
disregard reality while asking
"please remember me"

Disrupt corruption
with whole hearted black
and cristobal, he's spanishing again,
explaining his tin armor to pedestrians
who have cars
but forgot where they parked,
so he gives directions
to his mecca,
a little spot downtown
around
a building
and sometimes shimmering
becoming not really there
no one understands,
disrupt confusion
I gaze
at pixelated
you and
you gaze
at pixelated me
and we
breathe
on both sides
of this disembodied world
it's funny
twist it up in a joke
make it sad enough
to make them cry
laugh
this pain of detachment away
for a moment
I look at it like I'm
a pen pal poetic player
and I could very well be
a pimple pimp
king of skinny bodies,
big brains,
dying heart
machines
I remember son with his twin pentium chips
and 50 gigabyte hardrive with all the tweakings
of a major genius,
but his soul
was his logic and
his logic
was his tool
and his cybernetic days
cost him
that one moment
when he called for his kitty
and it was dead in the shitpan
praying for some food
and some love(or some torment)
and I remember some girl
who dropped encyclopedia
excerpts and bible quotes
that contradicted some dogma
nobody spilling their guts
upon a silicon and fiber optic
trail of tears
and she was cruel
but she was alike
and I remember a woman
who dizzied me,
who could change the colour of
my mind,
who made all this worthwhile,
and I
remember a mentor
who dropped the knowledge
and praised me
just enough
to keep me going
and criticized me
just enough
to keep me
me
and I remember some people
who you all remember
and I remember some
people
who you all forgot
and I keep quiet
get loud
ask for anarchy
create rules
and I change my name,
my mind,
my rhyme
and sometimes I ask
someone I know
what does it matter that
I am a pioneer of
vandalism
and free thought
and they point out someone
who is just a vagrant
along these tunnels
and they say
watch the shooting star
(\one from many/)
