Termitary

It takes 12 months to make a ‘person’

The procedure is very simple

But the inception can be relatively dangerous.

The only thing that was left of me was a nail

And some bones, from the spine.

They were carefully placed each in its own special part

of a so called complicated metallic device

And then, a hologram was projected around them.

Imagine, I had been living in such a body for quite a while.

Now I am upgraded. I am more, even though I still suffer

 from lack of short term memory.

Next time I notice someone trapping such beautiful colours

In a plastic glass cage,

I swear, I am going to blow up this ugly building.

They insist that I have to compromise,

Even though I am the most patient thing in the world.

Because in the meanwhile I have grown.

I am not mindless. I am beyond understanding; I am inconceivable.

Those termites are unable to lift me.

They want to carry me to their tower,

Because I am too large to fit in their underground tunnels.

And the words that they are mumbling in my face

are in the wrong tongue; I never spoke proper human.

I don’t bother anymore.
