He gave us the
Apple
–from the tree of knowledge–
and framing it as
Scooby snacks,
told us to
dig in, and right then we
should have known. . .
‘should have seen his agenda
‘should have recognized his soul-less
reptilian eyes
–so like the man from Sugar Mountain–
glinting in the spectacle.
From then on
Eden
(the comparative Eden)
made of Earth
–and at least occasionally in America–
transformed.
Transported us outside
Gates
(to peace)
to Gates
flung open wide
to Hell
(aka algorithms)
and Window to a world
of all that’s allowed
–plus all that’s actually done—
a Window to a world
that grows social distancing in Petri dishes
while climbing up your ass on the not-so-DL,
a Window to a world
sealed tight behind
filtered
monitored
screens
. . .
–where tales
wagging dogs
(and data)
swear the
plague’s upon us
