ok computer

It stares at me it does the screen
I mean and messages from people away
Make my day that much harder
And my heart that much weary
It's scary to think that the words on my screen
Are people indeed because it seems
so abstract like rain drops frozen in photographs
so real but real only because of a daft
invention to hold them in stop time like my heart
every time it says that someone has replied
To what though I only send something 
read by the eyes but not real like words
that glide into your ears sounds I'm trying to say
that touch you they do the sound waves
nothing interesting to say when I'm at the screen
nothing interesting nothing at all i mean
and it only gets harder with people around
all with ideas but I shut eye shut at the ground
and they higher and higher while I underground
so I try to get higher higher by another route
but it only shuts me into my own invention
that's stop time too in the velvet underground
