take me

confidence lost in bliss

begging for a kiss goodbye;

goodbye ceaseless needless lacking

established post-scarcity but you're scared of me

advertisement inflation and speculation,

i waste myself for endless pointless

attempts at gathering labor for my sanity

bluntly i don't care enough

i saw ladders i saw ladders and i ran, where there was nothing but snakes biting at my lips

frigid and wrapping; my nervous system with price tags

i am a resource

take me.

i don't have enough for you

take it.

because i don't need me anymore

my self and my attention and my time and my joy and my sadness

my friends and my home and my laughter and my jokes and my games

have them; turn them into numbers on a screen;

does this make you happy?
