human machine


My mouth is a word slave

A cavern for articulation

Calculated annunciation

Chewing sounds and clingy diction

Spewing vowel sounds

In charted order

A comes first then

I o u

But I never question y

I just speak spit sounds

Through monotonous routine

Without considering meaning

A human hum

Machine machine machine
