Its hard to be real in a world so plastic, so prosthetic.
And, this is no attempt at depth.
Still waters run deep; and motionlessness kills me.
Ive always got to keep moving.
To withstand a reliable, -steady, -quick pace.
Im just trying to keep up pace
-with you.
Youre always running, and I fear Im lagging behind.
Is that why?
Is she swifter than I?
Thats crazy there are none more there than me.
I can out there them any day.
Wheres the theme in this all?
Thats my problem. I lack theme.
-and theme is what ties.
Whats my genre? Whats my overall?
I dont have one.
Im too much of a variety to be sorted.
Themes Are for Suckers thats my theme.
Im not prosthetic.
But, I am unreal.
Im tainted, corrupt.
Uneasy. (or, over-easy?)
Un-plastic, at least. Im aluminum all the way, baby.
Still, or not?
That is the question.

I liked this....I love to play with words when I write and I got that from this write. Good imagery and the flow was nice. Thanks for sharing!
