I can’t framework.

[brittlemoth]

I can't quite framework.
I can't get the screen right.
Ever.
I can't quite framework.
I run from it but it always escapes me.
And sometimes it's like drowning.
But still there is air.
I can't look at things in a way
Where I act and then
It all lines up
I can't fall for long
Before hitting the ground
Sometimes I am sucked in
Through the eyes of production
I can't ever commit.
I can fall into your machine
I can fall into a broken machine
I can fall into chaos
Sometimes the screen
Generates too quickly
And I can't follow my own words
They escape me as I produce them
And without words
When can I ever be without words
I am in a prison of words
The hole in my cell is a prison
The hollowed out tube surrounded by dirt
Closes in on me from all sides
Until I enter my next prison
Still I can't figure out how to live.
It will always elude me.
While scared animals
Train me in ways I don't understand
To follow their string till it unravels
Like mermaids
Beckoning me toward eternal pain
Still I turn away
Toward the ceaseless fire.
