Alligator clips

A jump start to a starved heart and
we're all locked into the grid,

we belong and though
some long to be
their destiny is a lonely place.

I face those disapproving looks
those look at him looks
and at times think
life sucks,

but then they put the implants in
and switched on the juice.

It's like being in a bowl with a hole drilled
into my head
I have to tread carefully and watch my
Ps and Q's while they abuse me.

If I attach the electrodes to the diodes and the cathode tube explodes
they'll say I was trying to escape into the series and unlock the grid
what they don't know is I did.
