Poem: Matrixification

 

Matrixification

electric Christ languishes near virtual Vishnu, 

twitchy Wicca and streamy Buddha.  and prayer, 

prayer twittered till it bled.

and so ...  we say 

yay! for all and every idol nude under the voyeur-yawn!

and we ask, who will keep the barcodes 

out of jungles and rainforests,

and the cartoons animals who slink cutesy 

in conga lines of viral shorts across pulsing tubes?

we ask and oh yes we answer, 

how deep can the faceless sex go? 

how far to spread lobes for fancier tokens and upgraded sighs?

how seductive the circuits which screw buds, undress avatars,

swallow screenshots and 

turn fistulas into cellphones?

can cashless crypto$ aspire

in megafantastical gameworld multiverses

to magnify the already ramified matrixification?

 

can love
can love
can love 

escape the prison of exploits and apps

and the bots and the chat-artificial I-modes?

can it dodge the gamer guns, toxic macho,

evade all apps, clicks, taps and DM-

twisted texts and can it unsink itself from layers of 

webby-crawly sticky cookie threads 

to rise?
