Solitude in the Networking Age

I love to learn my lessons

all by myself.

If you only knew

the room upstairs,

where I grew up,

what names.

I have given myself,

and the distance

between two bodies in space,

you'd understand the sentiment.

The room upstairs keeps record

busies itself with transactions

a market-maker

a machine

an impeccable, efficient place;

where

I am a good person with

cracks and edges, where

I cry a lot

in self-pity and then

deny it.

It is difficult to accept

being

so absolutely alone,

in the dark,

and,

also,
in the light.

No one taught me how to survive myself

in this impossible space, and so

I look towards the screen

and screens of screens

for an echo

or some (c)ack.

We Gon' A Prison-in

Read all these gestures you my dear myopic fool of the last intellectual generation into present future days guiding light

Into present future days grinding might myopia is ubiquitous because there are either such useless sign interpreters or accountants accounting

Useless sign interpreters or accountants accounting for everything given software applications and now social media location based services

There are no such things

as

________ unaccounted for or

________ uninterpreted or un-re-interpreted

We live in a mad full place; an Eastern, Oriental place; cast aside then brought back

Wow!

Tao

conquering

mystery and lack

Bodies

Sometimes I think

you are just a body

who makes human noises.

A body

that climbs quietly

out of bed. A body

that eats quickly,

eats in largess

&

shits & giggles

& fucks & sleeps.

A body that is

connected

to other bodies

it calls family,

and these other bodies,

like this body,

makes human noises

& eats

& shits & giggles

& fucks & sleeps.

Sometimes I think

you are just a body

that is looking

to make me a body,

so we can

make other

small bodies

that can exist

in the society of bodies

contently

without

grief

or needing succor.

& what

is so horrible

about this?
