too damn sloppy

Say it loud, say it proud

too damn sloppy

just too messy

all that emotion

flowing through

blood, sweat and tears

seeping into my soul

as my heart and brain

explode

with all that damn

passion and gusty determination

that damn arrogance

outside the box ideas

where is the box?

who said anything about a box?

excuse me, excuse me

help, help, we have a problem

we have a box missing on aisle 15

if you find it, somewhere, anywhere

please dispose of it

immediately

with gratuitous

self-pleasuring

destruction

blow the damn box

out of existence

all that unpolished

knowledge, divergence

a gift from me to you

your best friend, lover

mother, father, sister

brother, latest crush

take it, treasure it

bury it in the garden

for all I bloody care

all...the damn

fury and the fire

linguistic funeral pyre

too damn human

caffeinated and flawed

emotional and impulsive

to be anything close to AI
