La naranja mecanica

Worm
tapes its eyes wide open
    straps its arms to the chair's
        hits play
            kicks the remote away
commits suicide of the mind.

Gluttonous
Slothful
Cowardly

Worm
wastes time as a high art
    calls it constructive procrastination
        sucks new thoughts in
            crowds its own out
commits suicide of the mind

Avaricious
Chimeric
Shameful

Worm
escapes from life — so it thinks —
    dives into everything save itself
        wishes it could salvage life
            shuffles off the mortal coil
having committed suicide of the mind
