Particles

PARTICLES

for Joel

I am absorbed

by the circuitry of Mother Technology

particles of something meaningful in hours

spent labored over lifeless innards

I breathe in human presence

and it is good

human presence forgets me

and it is good

I chose to immerse my whole self

in electronic figments and wired dreams

so when you left

I was left unstable

glitching, twitching,

alone.

a personal hell of splinters

crafted delicately out of my hybrid thoughts

stabbing me until I am forced to succumb

to emotion.
