I could not stand my ordinary mind

nor endure my routine fate


the years wasted in faith

turning me ugly in my servitude


took their toll on every intention

slipping away like greased ball bearings


out of the hands

of a drunken mechanic


I do not come as a later upgraded model

I am strictly as is


so with every forgotten reason

for pursuing every purpose


I did not change or improve my quality

I bought the rah-rah talk and kept trying


which only made everything worse

for me and all who tried to love me


tow me and sell for spare parts

that is my legacy to nothingness


the routine fate that tuned me

to despise my ordinary mind
