Slipping through to the slipstream

like an alien I awake inside the world of dreams

computers and wires control my thoughts

all the images in my head

I’ve almost died but still not arrived

experiments in brain wave therapy

combined in sine wave theory

keep me alive and on the edge

pushing through barriers in research

all for the preservation of a man

love of life, who knew it could be so tough

but it’s not enough

encased in tubular constructions, sensor me

as they’re ripping through to my cerebellum

speaking commands in synthesis

no not, know not

I’ve been erased

do not, have not

being replaced by a mind so alien

to become one with the machine

one with the universal robot

the trunk of my body feels like tin

my head like lightening in a jar

electrified and taking me over

heart of steel now empty and alive

where once it was flesh and dead

switch me on

turn the dial

watch the master needle

there on the lighted control console

like the machine I’ve become

a slave of what’s to come

from man into robot
