Glitches
Location
Introducing a new design of mankind
the battery business will bloom
with new springs in their backs
tangled wires as veins
consumed and socially doomed
Glitches in modernity
vocal anomalies
breaking free from all sensibility
‘tis the digital age
up your dependency
for virtual connectivity
for an omnipresent auto-correct
and Siri, your automated library
Go set books ablaze
your brain is a terrible megabyte to waste
trade in your muscles, organs and limbs
our thumb fingers are sweltering with intent
And our heads are buried
to our laps
to the crosswalks
salute to the sensors to which we submit
and set your subconscious to standby
Greedy for the latest
we are seldom to moderation
having no grief over our social displacement
we’d rather lose
our tongues to genuine imitations
