The Machine Part
It's been happening lately.
I'm discovering a technology
of what makes me tick and applying
these learned principles as if I
were a machine. The poetry knew these rules
but I have just learned them.
There are strange things that excite
and frighten me, that pass like air
when they are finished. These are not real,
come from the hell of whirling memory.
But now I know to use them unashamedly.
There are levers in my heart that can be
flipped with mental fingers, things that
remain secret in life and reverberate with
embarrassment that could last beyond death.
