Hammer, hammer, metal on mettle
Each blow sending sparks of hatred
Let the embers in the air settle
Leaving only bitterness to be savored
Is it the body, or the mind
That you exist within the confines of reality
That you exist
That you…
Nevermind.
Push for the light ever so white, ever so black
Even as you are thrown by life like a sack
Hammer your heart, your mind
Your soul.
Never enough, never stopping
Ever moving forwards, or backwards
Circles within circles
Dying after death
A infinity of rote.
Hammers, wrenches
Formation, constriction
Measures, regulators
Calibration, moderation
Machine still unfinished
Ideas of freedom, of death
Love that isn't love
Ideologies, blood, power
Victory after victory
Never stopping, machine too fast
Nuts too loose, brain too free
Fear, sadness
Constriction, moderation
Desire, norms
Formation, calibration
Firebox, chamber
Powering, storing
Pistons, supplements
Manipulators, whistles
Medications, oil
audio regulators, ceramic masks
Punch cards and optical scanners
machine too costly
unfinished
impossible
discard
