Good job. This would make a good metal song.

very good. i like the part about the incubus.

Thanks Trent. I never thought of it as a Metal sort of poem, but I see the potential. I origially had Nightmare instead of incubus and I agree, I think it adds to the mixed nature of cyborgs (machine and man) that I was shooting for.

I'm not usually a big fan of poetry, but I enjoyed this. I thought it was quite entertaining. I'd like to see more of your work!

While surffing the web this morning, I found that my poem cited in a Newsvine discussion about nanotechnology and imortality. After being somewhat dismayed that I was not attributed the poem, I found that I was later given credit. I am flattered to find that Carloz found my poem timely and relevant to current events. Thanks to Ben947448 for making sure I was cited as the author.

That's kind of cool. Although I wish they had attributed the poem to you (and linked to the MindFlights page ) when they first quoted it.

Still, it's gotta feel good that they liked your poem enough to reference it in their discussion.

Congratulations!
