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?
