I've always strived to be something more than human.

The bottles flash and flash
Fireflies tap against the glass
And the current parts against the bottles
But more then anything, she'll be sad to see
The speed go out of the water

The author's comments:
This is a type of poem called a cross off poem, because you take something previously written and make a poem out of it by cutting out from the previous text. There is nothing here that was not before in the paragraph it was taken from, only the re-arrangement of words and phrases to re-purpose them.
