[casteelsm]

i've been stuck so many times
with a needle full of sedation's breath
that i've calloused over
and i'm numb to the piercing pain
driving itself deeper into the back of my neck
oblivious to the syringe
pumping me feel of apathy

i've never felt more asleep
my eyelids heavy
from staring straight into the blinding light
unable to pull away
and if i try
i feel a prick
and the needle has sunk in deeper

have you ever wondered
if we were all just monkeys
just one out of thousands
typing on a thousand typewriters
trying to rewrite shakespeare

and have you ever wondered
if a monkey could drive a car
or build a city of bricks

have you ever thought
that maybe a monkey
sitting at a typewriter
wrote this poem for you?
