I want to remember a time A time I can’t recall Before I was created Way before I died When words were free And purity was Some old friends got together To talk and laugh At nothing really Not even really friends Just an excuse to laugh Before the machines spoke And wrote Based on words and data That no one remembers Or understands A time I can’t recall I wonder if it ever really was Or are these just words?
Our feet touchAnd that familiar spark returnsThe one that occuredWhen our eyes met9 years agoIn that dark, circular roomWhere only we existedWhere pain became peripheralWhere a foundation emergedFrom nothing and no one
I love nowWhen I’m not in painWhen the air is freshWhen I can say “ahorita”And it might never happenNothing to do but sit or lieWhen no one is callingWhen the screen isn’t onAnd there’s no soundBut the birds
“Turnkey” business model“Side hustle” to earnA freezer in a roomWith fine cuts from the northAnd in 24 hours of waitingYour face turns from thatFamiliar scowl to a smileBut you’re suspiciousThat you’ve been had
I Want to Remember
I want to remember a time
A time I can’t recall
Before I was created
Way before I died
When words were free
And purity was
Some old friends got together
To talk and laugh
At nothing really
Not even really friends
Just an excuse to laugh
Before the machines spoke
And wrote
Based on words and data
That no one remembers
Or understands
A time I can’t recall
I wonder if it ever really was
Or are these just words?
