Beautiful Poem by Alexis Pena (Goco)
(from Timeless Voices by Howard Ely)
When I was alive I used to be like you
today I am the Brain inside your skull
thoughtfully bonded with you and carefully determined
I imagined we would never cease
that our anatomic union would always burn a flame
and our new day would come
before any external commission of
existential self-respect
That new day never came and it seems
you have bridged your self-respect
to someone else and not me
Now I am still here very much alive in your head
always available for you
paradox as your head voice
Since I left I notice that you are happier
now autonomously whole
but I know that you will always be
the person I knew in this life
in my existence
where there is a fine line between
autonomy and calypso
