I'm reducing people to parts.
Feelings are behaviors, scrubbed clean and given a new name.
Rhetoric is rehearsed like a play to give a fool a smile -
deceiving is easier when there is no logic to betray.
I feel like the concept of this piece shifts halfway through- from sort of an analytical perspective, to a more people-friendly.
"Reducing people to parts" and "scrubbed clean" suggests detached comprehension, and an almost machine-like approach to interactions, while "to give a fool a smile" and "no logic to betray" both imply a more invested, arbitrary, (maybe darkly whimsical?) feeling.
This gives a really interesting sense of inner conflict, of inner-monologue. I wouldn't say it's got a cohesive message, but it's definitely real.
