Your Eyes On My Faults


































Sculpture: Christian Batteau, Man Invoking a Better Version of Himself
Quitters and Non Humans

Places, places everybody
No not there,
not there either
if you ask
I will not tell
I have clocked
my soul
into my pockets
that can't remain
full
the emptiness
makes my kind
growl for more
more more
money
and you
are doing that wrong
and that
is not the right
way either
but if you ask
I will not show
I am more human
cause I can
repeat
repeat
repeat
you are
a lousy
non-human
and you forgot
to clean
the     .
