MY Cybernetically Induced Humanity
My life has been dominated by the devices I own
And the identities I’ve taken
Or to say more succinctly,
They are the one who own me
As a species we are so disconnected from each other that
the device is our mouth and vocal chords
Our eardrums connected to our heart
Our eyes and synapsis form this one organ.
That connects us cybernetically to each other thru slavery and hyper-fealty to the device
We read what they feed
We speak and love through the code
The routers and dishes are served with relish
Our words become filtered
Through technology
Our animal senses are muted
Sub-dude by the instantaneous gratification
Of a brief communique
I can see and speak to you
Without travelling to your village
We speak in the tongue of texts and tints
Shadows of what we might say
If we saw each others eyes and smelt
The raw beauty of Ishtar sweating
It would be a different moment
I would know more about you
And less about the tragedies
I may come to know myself better
Instead of my device
Captain ?
