to be human

Is to be cliche. (It seems)
if your actions have purpose,
the purpose is perpetrated by the look on your face
or the feeling from your open eyes.
Disconnect to leave
these humanly ambitions to the human...
but this is not original.
It was done by Warhol who was
only the first bastard of his kind to be famous.
I am young still, i think
i know it all because i can feel.
Today i turn 8,000 days into a mass of flesh and bone
quivering in loneliness and laughter.

There's a good habit in quitting old habits,
but beauty is hard to substitute.
Go ask Edie S.
She can tell you what to like the best.
And in the reign of anarchy
you won't find more than one, two or three
who can still hold their heads above the water
and still breathe well while the weaker are slaughtered.

(Do you believe it when you hear
'I know it's not perfect, but it's all we've got'?)
No matter what we do
you have only your idea of how it will turn out.
For the love of god
be brave you human,
or enjoy your vacations and get back to work.
