shattered
broken in pieces
lying around
pieces
of an identity
long lost
expectations
for this life
taken away
consumed
by the hunger
for growth
living
only to work
paying bills

we were here
we were dreamers
we could do anything
we were the center of the worldwe grew up
we had to pay bills
we took up responsibilitieswe lost our dreams
we left behind our freedom
we grew tiredwe worked
we consumed
we died -
new year’s resolution
nearly everyone makes them
most remember them
barely anyone keeps themwhy do we make them?
when they are hardly remembered
and rarely kept?are they an illusion?
a trick of the brain
to make us feel better?the best resolutions are
those not made because
these are the only ones kept -
ear’s end haiku
singing a shrill song
lighting up the night
burning money— firework
tormenting pets
costing me sleep
and you a finger— firecracker
bang
getting a heart attack
needing new eardrums— bystander
in cooperation with a rhyming snail

me am loss self identity
shock
I restarted my browser
and now all my tabs are gonewhat happened?
how can I access all the important stuff?
where is my life?without my data I'm nothing
how should I know who I am without the world telling me?
how could I loose myself?maybe I've got a backup?
nope, nothing's here
not a single trace remainswait, there it is
in the browser's chronic
I can see glimpses of myselftab by tab
I'm reopening my life
wondering if I ever would be the same person again -
foggy
in this state
in-betweenseeing straight
quite impossibleeverything's hazy
nothing is clearlike a wall
of cotton candyneeding time
to disappear -
brain
fold by fold
winding through
a dark spacelike a snake
picking up everything
that crosses its pathneeding a lot of energy
to build and unbuild
its vast networknothing happens
without its input
and directionconstantly talking
but never listening
to its own advice -
being aroace
me not wanting to have kids
me not feeling attraction
me not understanding what all the fuss is aboutme failing to express myself
why do I have to reproduce?
why do I need to fall in love?
why do I want to exchange bodily fluids?me failing to understand expectations
me finding words
me finding support
me finding resourcesme finally able to talk
me knowing I don't need to do anything
me knowing there are others like me
me knowing that I can contributeme feeling proud to be asexual

Guess what they are?
they’re out there to get us
they hunt us
they stalk us like prey
lurking behind every counter
waiting for us, waiting that we make a mistake
watching every step we take
coming to life at the slightest sign of weakness
roaring, pursuing us like the wild animals we are to them
to be hunted, to be herded into cages, for our own protection they say
until we do it ourselves and huddle up in our homes
of fear to go out there
to encounter more of them
they’re everywhere
defining our landscapes, using our spaces, devouring our resources
and we?
we encourage and enable them to do what they want
we watch them day in day out destroying our environment, our livelihood, our means to survive
until the day we go out there and stand up together for our shared future, take back what is ours, reclaim our spaces and start living, being free again
Yes, I’m talking about cars.
