so, this is what it’s like
to breathe in our own
self-made dystopia,
shoaling, swarming in
this hexed, wired world,
we walk, see, talk and
listen to myriad hypnotic
tones, cursors,
blinkpulse algorithms
truthshape a faux benign
sentience in this counterfeit
world, where electronic
bibles preach, fools become
professors, rich opinions
are duly slain for chat-facts
revered voraciously and
shared to bake a toxic viral
stew, we regress without care
stupidity diluting ever further
into an antediluvian chaos
