“Many of the stars in the sky, have planetary systems. We know enough now, about the origin of life to, uh, make it appear likely, that uh, life, arises naturally.” — Carl Sagan
naturally
without brain storms, the
thinking muscle will atrophy
well batten down the hatches !
suffering succotash !
a catastrophe, it’s
raining catalogs, of
dishonest aphorisms
conditioned socially
the media is programming
daily aneurysms
i’m kinda glad my gramma-grampa
didn’t have to shelter
placed inside unhappy prisms
renzo
was standing at his
eye spy
life aquatic sign
ahead in sight it read :
[ see — somethin’ — say ]
okay
he said aloud, i’m on it
but it feels — a bit ironic
when he’s docked
upon his walk to gawk at skyyy
two other people walking by
abruptly stop beside him
flicker — take a picture
seconds later — along their merry, way
they barely, stayed to stare ??
well shit golly, renzo, here ? —
couldn’t wait, for air
weeks — of wildfires
crazy layers ..
renzo’s like:
calm down y’alllll
we’re on a — living planet ( think about it )
we’re organisms
in a quarantine
we’re bored & living
hoarding images at rapid
go double tap
is a human really living
if addicted to the internet distractions ?
quick ! — there’s a happening :
put on a jacket
& go snap it
take a shot
go back inside & number hash it
instead of absolute existence ? we
have to go & post it like it matters
if it doesn’t lather laughter
or some kind of trending chatter
does it mean that we don’t matter ?
heck, no !
it’s an anti-matter !
in a digi space
consider, space ! — (dark, matter — star, matter)
it’s the age — of T.M.I.
take it all in
hug — your device, it’s
running your life
glowing screens
come to the light
jump in the fight
lol — it’s out of, control
troll — versus troll — vers. troll
cut to commercial bars & tone
time to siign out
silencing the siine wave
citizens imprisoned in plato’s silicon caaaave
concave lens deceiving the eye
every multiple side of the die
desires a better america, right ?
but what is world peace ?
if we ain’t got peace in the mind
you see the design ?
social media, needs us
it eats us — a liiiive — (video)
