Simple thought patterns pass left to right
Across his consciousness
A teletype that provides reflective memory
Events, people who have passed out his life
Gone far afield of his mind
So, he returns here eyes half closed
Ears half open
The machine sends him these message memories
He remains unsure if they exist outside his awareness
Or if they are implanted concepts that the overlords
Want him to believe he has lived before.
Goals as secret as the meaning of the thoughts
Before the words.
