if you made me today / would i live behind a paywall / or be open source / would i constantly be upgraded / would my features change with makeup trends / boudoir mod grunge / would you make me exclusive skins / limited editions / mass produced / would i be one of a series / would i be an installation / would other artists make me a template / deconstruct me / graffiti my likeness / overhaul me/ streamline me / reboot me for a new era / make me feel more current / would a program sing with my voice / would i be a symbol / what i’m trying to ask / is / would there be anything left of me at all
