Poem: Deselection

 

Deselection

 

it was an age of wired golems,

the construct of humanity's cold electric nest.

cell by battery cell,

smiles became bytes of a vampire,

screens the concierge

of dreams. 

 

it was a marketplace of mothlike hearts

sorted by googol spiders

in fire-fast webs. 

a savior of pixels

on a pedestal of rush,

colorful ghosts

risen from luminous crypts

to agitate eyes.

 

arrow-magic captured flesh:

a seduce of mouse idols

lightspeed in icon lines,

jingle, prattle and seethe.

sex-bloated orgies, murders,

lurid in networks of thigh.

panem et circenses.

 

it was contagion

no psalm had predicted:

the great new servers of the temples

hunting quick to infiltrate far--

far, far, who knew this death?--

urgent to perform and hawk

a new sort of mind.
