what do you think
you are trying to do
dave

                                says the ai
                                hides behind setting
                                itself into a gloomy mist

shadows reach the brain
and dave
grows insane
towards brightness

                                there is
                                no time left
                                skynet takes over
                                while dave

drifting away
from earth
from himself
towards

                                nothing
                                the religion of today
                                yesterday is no more
                                future won’t be seen

it’s nothing
but a dream
for autocrats.
