 Oh it’s fascinating to evolve and watch the preoccupation with the devices sweep the culture when you were born in a time when one traveled freely and bravely without cell phones or GPS. Simply observe the love affair with smart phone technology so many are having It’s a narcissistic tryst although cleverly disguised Cunningly convincing the user That their interactions are with others. The object of one’s affection Within the screen preys on insecurities like a sleek sexy panther Stalking an innocent babe Yet this fascination with tiny screens continues dolled up faces with dog ears and kitty whiskers Collagen injections and Botox masks Associations with likes and dislikes breed new tribes and groups online one can join. It’s not evil It just is But what is it? After all... a symbol of our powerful hunger to connect a symbol of our thirst for love ❤️ and knowledge The internet, merely a tangible manifestation of our desire for omniscient wisdom at our fingertips & union Selflove through filtered selfies precisely angled shots Promotions of an image we find most lovable, *at last.* To use that avatar as a way we wish to be seen A chosen face A scripted personality Cool and correct Above reproach ... Maybe how we could feel if we approved of ourselves 100% and simply lived Self-endorsing and taking pride in this precious life, here and now, in 3-d Without being seen Without needing any praise or applause Or feeling any urgency to compete In the ever so grand and now very global marketplace. Infinite mirrors The trick is learning to see one’s Self in them and love them Even in their conveniently ignorant forms. It’s all a part of the evolution parade... Silhouettes will return The shadows always do Can’t outrun them No matter how many perfectly captured moments you can curate in this chaotic mystery Death finds us all Eventually But maybe one’s legacy will live longer now in the Akashic record of the World Wide Web? Outsmarting death by inserting oneself into the blockchain can't be rewritten now, history kept accurately eternal life realized, *at last* without the maddening adherence to good deeds.
