                        age of real-time, age of virtual faces,
                        age of storm-surge of perfect spilling
                        over imagination's floodwalls to drown
                        imperfection with images so far beyond
                        nightsweat's fear memories must recuse
                        themselves to avoid insanity's verdict 
                        
                        here is the shadow of a forgotten body
                        singing in a dance of fingers clicking:
                        a child, lost in the new meme's parade,
                        holding a broken toy other people told
                        him was a life in the digital eternity
                        where he'd never face lonely's sorrows 
                         
                        all of the old now the roadbed for the
                        machinery of always ever new to travel

    «While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

        This pathetic flea on a past-his-use-by-date tick in the ear of a homeless three-legged dog howling at the moon of literature with his last breath ... is.

              See, I thought he was one of those Cylon hybrids. I was ready to find a ship to plug him into, due to the fact that U.S. Navy has a tendency to collide with the biggest objects afloat these days. This might be an improvement to their navigation S.O.P..... :)
