Brave New World i.Brave New World by ~Amberous
That sunny day where papa
took out the mower and told you
that he was giving the grass a cut.
You felt sad for the grass...
did it remember the bite of electric teeth,
and did it know that it was futile to grow?
But you felt like a monster because you
liked the smell of cut grass,
until papa told you:
"When you got your hair cut, did it hurt?"
You too were doomed
to the buzz of a shaving machine.
"You look like a soldier."

Those old black and white photos
filled with strangers.

Then you ask about my day followed by a sideways smiley face

And I make up something about a 2 mile walk-
when in reality all I did was watch back to back episodes
of Star Trek: Deep Space 9.
Then I sit back and wait because you seem to be typing an awful lot,
but in 5 minutes when I receive the message it's just the letters "L O L"
A secret code that means you have nothing interesting to say,
and neither do I but comfortable silence doesn't exist on the Internet.

Night fell on the Iron Earth...
Thank You much dear friend

Across the face of the Earth, her ruby cheeks shone; Winds of whisper buried seeds of rumor, made her secret well grown.
