I couldn't more then wouldn't
as the extent of "the Giving tree" asked for more and more
until one becomes LESS then a pig or boar
only a shell of a man digging at the insects in his soars
unable to look at oneself in the shower..
unable to swallow right
move right
think right
or imagine a future
one only wants to chop the tree down
and pray to this take on Intelligence artificial or otherwise
please do not write me into a book of life if this is what life will be
