[lyrics: by Lolitask7]
Afraid of the Digital Dark Age?
Or a World Wide Web War
and everything getting lost
of your external memoire
Afraid to loose your shit down
Afraid of Missing Out
Loosing your phone on the subway,
praying to your hard drive
?
First you’re bitchin’ to your laptop
taking her time to start up
she’s too slow and you slam the keys
forgiving and reaching you
to beg on your knees
regretting how you treated the machine
she blacks out from the daily abuse
depending on her endless stand by
she’s on sleep mode and never shut down
Piles of mails in the backyard
of your endless virtual graveyard
the back of your head leaning against
the ergonomic failures of chance
Digging deep in the saved tabs
reaching for systems & routines
to not get lost in the physical Streets
without fearing too much battery leaking
you’re biting the apple
slightly sogging through the
non modular and closed source
you forget to blame yourself
for the the companies’s forces
It’s not easy,
the multitude is trembling,
the floor — swept away…
You find yourself,
suddenly,
empty handed.
What a relief
but its moment of peace doesn’t stick around
Instead
a ravage of sharply edged sine waves
sawtooth style
peaking through your forehead
shattering
RIGHT in front of your dry eyes
A heavy diarrhea
manifests itself on your desk
and simultaneously
you are about to throw up
—— confused about what to wipe first
and where to put your device you took with you to the bathroom
you need all your 3 hands for this desktop task.
How did you end up here from just cleaning up your room?
You will know soon
when your potential children
will tell you to get the fuck out
You being an artist
will not for ever be
an excuse to postpone
treating your compulsive behaviour
and give shelter to
What you find on your way home
It’s time to admit you’re a scared arsehole
uptight from a rhizomatic constipation
taking forever to heal;
the cramped circular muscle of thoughts
collecting and holding on
every little thing getting in your hand
will have to, one day, give up all the burden
