Paused,
Slouching towards
Something else
Besides nirvana
Grinning,
With eyes pierced
On the sad faces
Sucked in
By small screens
And even smaller virtual lives
Frowning,
At the eye candy:
Images without depth
Not of field
But of emotion and
Personal expression
This fast existence
Of easy consumption,
Custom made
For five minute spans,
Express scans and
Recycled cans,
Packed and targeted
For each category,
Tagged and marketed
With a bar code
That frames this window
Of possibility
With a self imposed
Imprisonment of individuality…
