Actually,

Before I go to Cook. My

Dilated Eyes

Find fancy fantasies of the blind.

Good, no. Neither is it

Holy because

Inside technology a

Jailed Kingdom

Motions, Notions, and Offers of

Panic and pain disguised as satisfaction and ease.

Queue'd are options for the selection of material inventions.

Refined to appeal and appease our desires,

Soliciting solace and the comfort of simplicity.

Truths covered with branches of lies blanching

Understanding and infecting souls

Violently, souls unaware of the

Whip-lashed, binding their necks to the devices we call tech

Xenomorphed into slavery by

"You could" and "I want" threatening personal security with

Zealousy that transforms desire into jealousy. I ask you, without your phone, can you breathe?
