The meat of life
Is made an abstraction
Tangibility is passé
Coils of sensory imagery
Synthetic neurological pulse waves
Electric tides
Virtual surreality
Textural souls in an artificial age
Fleshy androids hooked up to the great keyboard organ
Staring wet mouthed into the pixel rich hypnotic eye
Cyber aesthetic
Emotions replaced by emoticons
Humanism is now software
Ghosts in the machine
Spirits in the ethereal world
Tonguing the Motherboard to taste more technology
Bytes with a digital spit tooth
The body electronic
The mind plastic
Layman’s architecture
The Concrete jungle is now Silicon Valley
Neighborhoods converted to cold gray Networks
“Can Johnny Log On To Play?”
