Disassembling every fixture created by the life that I've lived. Vowing to find a view of former glory, reverse the engineering. I can see functional design in all of the spaces between. In this time and place, I have struggled to retain what's left of my dignity. I find myself always shifting between different shades of personality. Am I a man or machine? Mechanical and cold, emotionless, devoid of all humanity. At war with apathy, retracing every restoration in search of meaning. Or am I just pretending knowing I'll find nothing? But for my pessimism, hope is the driving force of the gears that turn inside me. I will not rest until I am whole again, I am timeless and with purpose. I will restart when my hands find their north. Every witness mark is an instruction to repair my broken pieces. I am rebuilt, I am restored, I am timeless and with purpose. I am more.
