in the inside of the cage
that surrounds a box
there are bits and pieces
and a whole range of
spare parts

you may pick and choose
fight the fights in your head
debate on what you want and need
endlessly changing
your desires

but the form seems to
elude you, as you yearn
evermore

true. constancy is stagnating
true. life is expansive

(but…)
just because one feels great
doesn’t always make it right
a favourite robotic pet
will still be a junk to some

yet. what is junk to some
is still saleable for others
after all everything can be
bought or sold in this wired
connected world

if the price is right

one day
my box will be bargained for
and there will be hunters
on a fault-finding mission,
arguing  --
with the enthusiastic salesman
who wants to make
a deal of his life
a deal of my life --
just to get the price down
as close to dust as possible
between dawn and dusk
one day

true. one day.

Suddy - this is one of the best I've seen from you my friend...the quality is striking - honest, bold, plain - yet achieving poetical integrity...it works well...
