Poem: Matrixification

 

Matrixification

prayer twittered till it bled.

electric Christ languishes near virtual Vishnu, 

twitchy Wicca and streamy Buddha.

all and every idol nude under the voyeur-yawn,

and so we ask, who will keep barcodes 

out of jungles and rainforests

while cartoons animals slink cutesy 

in conga lines of viral shorts across pulsing tubes?

 

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 

make fistulas out of 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 bot modes and the chat-artificial I-modes?

can it dodge the gamer guns, toxic macho rage,

evade all apps, clicks, taps and DM-

twisted texts to unsink itself from layers of 

webby-crawly sticky cookie threads 

and rise?
