Cacti- by: unknown forgotten

If I wasn't so entirely involved with making my character
not only emotionally sterile, but complex and full of depth to the bones
Not to mention deaf and blind in the skull
So that he was exempt from every damned reality of a human being
Then I'd have time to discuss the intricacies of matter and of life
We'd delve into the most common misconceptions of love and religion
Converse over the changes of worldwide beliefs that coincide with great history
We'd study the stars and measure the tides of the ocean
Scrape dead rattlesnakes off the baking desert roads
And feed the vultures the fresh meat to ensure their existence
