Catalysis (Stephen's World)
My mind is empty Now, as the slate Is wiped clean My past obliterated In a moment of Tragedy, as Fate Swallows my life Whole. Gone are the Bittersweet slices Of my childhood -- Remembrances forgotten Forever The electro-organic Device in my head Absorbs all for me Now -- Like some kind Of ultrahigh-tech Sponge I must learn to Love again, to Feel joy and Sadness. The stark white Page of my Mind is starting To fill With computerized Scribblings of How the world Is to be Perceived Or is it Analyzed? Am I a man Or a machine Now -- A modern-day Frankenstein with Synthetic neurons Firing to Simulate brain Waves A plastic thought -- Human yet Inhuman Man yet Machine. What will I Become once My memory (banks) Fill with experiences (Data)? Am I just a Learning program -- Or am I truly Alive? Home
