What is a man
But sinew and bone
Selective osmosis
And accident prone
What’s moulding the pieces
The gaskets and oils
Skin a thin barrier
For labours and toils
What is a man
But a functional drone
Action reaction
And always alone
The flesh and the meat
Electrons and salt
Eternal consumption
No pause and no halt
Delusional sovereignty
No island at all
A leaf in the wind
Just waiting to fall
What is a man
But the sum of the world
A filtered reality
Around itself curled
