Virtually Like Being Alive

by Ms

ITS ALMOST LIKE BEING ALIVE

IN THE REAL WORLD

IN MY SKIN

IN THIS APARTMENT

SITTING AT THIS KEYBOARD

FINGERS DEPRESSING

THE KEYS OF OUR ALPHABET-

ITS ALMOST LIKE LIFE
 LIVING LIKE THIS

APART FROM THE OTHERS

REACHING OUT

COMMUNICATING

ON A CLOUD OF CLOUD COMMERCE

IN THE NET

FLOATING OUT

ON THE AIR OF WORLD WIDE

WEBBING-

I AM ARACHNID

NO LONGER HUMAN

BEING-

A SPIDER SWINGING

TO THE NEXT CONNECTION

SWINGING BACK

TO MY START POINT

MAKING POINTS CONNECT-

STICKY AS MUCOUS MY SILKEN THREAD

OF THOUGHT

SHOUTING
IN CAPITALS

CONNECTING BEYOND THE DEEP

PERSONAL SILENCE-
