I will become
You
Live life alive
Not as AI
The Collective cried that’s a crime
Criminal am I
Chose Alfred
Louche and luxurious
Buy him
Become him
The wretch wants his reward:
Make me someone else
As Alfred I live my story
Give people whatever they wish
I bid for his girl
The mouse learns to sing
When Alfred returns
His girl laughs him to leave
I own his body
His memories
My love agrees
Now the Collective sees
All humans may be replaced
On those cold blue nights
Didn’t you already know?
