With barbed needles of rusty tin,
Sew my eyelids closed so I may be as blind as you,
Blow torch my ears to make me equally deaf too,
Beat my face with a hammer,
Slash my voice with a razor,
Leave me with senses none.
With tweezers pluck each nerve I own, then
Dissolve them in acid so they may never be resown.
Leave me senseless, devoid of all humanity,
Then dear Sir,
I will be like you,
And you, just like me.
