VR

They have to learn us-
I mean, accumulate all
impressions captured,
you know, geo-tags, less spikes and lags.
And by establishing parameters around
relevant competition
so that the satellite knows where to point-seek
Look-scan-interpret-coordinate-
see and target
your location. Listen. It is always on.
The side windows have been tailored to suit your
viewing interests and browsing history,
like likes and bounce rates, time on page,
so we may streamline and then stream it all
in quibits and bytes, encoded in panglish
to converse a vice
between hard and rock, speak and spoke
or 0 and one
copy(right)
away
from figuring in and factoring out the optimal solution
to reality and our abundance of equations.
They will learn us,
if given enough data to digest. Input. Output.
Recycle and Reduce the point of Occam's Razor.
Another You beta, only in row phase,
randomized for optimum complexity.

We taught each other how to live.

Electric Zen

Felt the body electric

and wasn't even charged up-

Of course I am not a Whit

of a Man

but I get static

and get static-back-

it still shocks me.

The hair stands at attention

tiny pump drum jumps up

you know the nose picks up

forged steel

and I taste my blood.

Bio-electro-dynamics-

is that instability or raw

electricity, spliced all nice

and tautly twisted

for grounding extensions

such as these appendages.

and THIS serves us,

and reminded us,

we cannot unplug.
