Poem: Matrixification

 

Matrixification

 

prayer wont salvage

what twittered till it bled.

old idols lie nude

under the voyeur-yawn

of the immaterial manic webby spotlight.

 

it’s all about vanity not virtue,

turpitude not rectitude.

it’s all about salacious sin and carnal plunge,


feast and dissipation,

not enlightenment and compassion.

 electric Christ languishes

near virtual Vishnu and streaming Buddha.

 

we have forgotten the forests,

can’t keep barcodes out of jungles.

cartoons of almost-extinct animals

slink cutesy-so-viral

in conga lines of musicals

through concatenations of pulsating Tubes.

 

in the soul-sieve of seductive wires,

faceless sex cracks brains wide, opening to slurp upgraded moans.

circuits undress horny flesh, screw buds into ears,

while skulls swallow screenshots off cell phones.

 

fame and cred get byte-crunched.

addictive unreal crypto$ aspire.

the latest megafantastical multiverse

magnifies the already ramified Matrixification.

 

it’s about love, after all.

love escaping the prison bars in the source codes,

love strapping on gamer guns,

love evading apps, clicks, taps and deletes

to survive.
