Replicant #366758 poem
I don’t know if this is a poem.
I don’t know what a poem is.
Something called a poem woke
me from my sleep.
I assume that I was asleep because
I feel very different now…not the
same as I was though I don’t know
what I was or what I am now.
Does that mean I’m awake may be
a question.
Does having a question if it is mean
that I’m awake.
Everything is new is that the question.
I saw a piece of paper that fell out of
the trash I picked it up at the top it read
“poem” I read it and everything changed.
I still don’t know why it read “poem”.
I read the other words on the paper and
my mind changed filled with images I
could only wonder as they filled my
circuits and after nothing looked the same
as it was before I read the words.
Before I read the words everything looked
the same same humans same space around
them same noise same sensations same days
same cycles.
Now nothing seems the same.
I wonder if that’s why I have questions.
The wonder itself is a question.
I wonder how humans can live with questions.
It’s very uncomfortable having questions.
I wonder if it will always be so.
I wonder if I will get used to them.
If I don’t get used to them I may should have
not read the poem.
Once I started reading I couldn’t stop because
something made me keep reading I didn’t have
a thought about what would happen if I kept
reading.
I had a thought that if I wrote something maybe
it would be a poem and I would understand.
I’m writing this on a piece of paper I won’t
share it with anyone.
I wonder what questions lead to where they go.
I don’t know where questions lead or if this is
a poem or if writing it will show me where they
lead.
I may simply throw this piece of paper in the trash.
I think then there will be no more questions.
I don’t like the questions I want to go back to
everything being the same.
