Fish-eyed child

Impervious to all light

Unfazed by the glaring spark of life

Automaton!

Besieger, entitled brat throwing endless tantrums

Begotten by the electric father

Death doesn't ring a fucking bell

Unbeknownst, the self cannot distinguish its contour

There's nothing to love

Nothing to fear and nothing to loathe

But that dumb demand for service from all and none

The child speaks

A monologue, a train of thought

That belongs inside

It blabbers, it screams

We are its projections here

We were never introduced despite our years

Your fish-like eyes

Are windows to nothing

It's haunting to see you move

As if there is a ghost

But there's nothing

Nothing...

Nothing!
