4th ANNIVESARY GUEST BLOGGER 2 - BUX JUST BUX


ISOLATED DEVICES

BY
BUX JUST-BUX


Caching pieces of yourself 
along the crumb trail of infinite feeds 
cowering behind age old 
avatars 
cropping away less 
favourable body parts 
in that place 
where regret is erased 
when hindsight catches up 
You delete the diatribe 
and in a set of key strokes 
it's taken from view 
but still impressed on servers 
hanging there 
like dirty laundry
awaiting discovery in another 
time 
but this is the modern age! 
Characters are formed in 
technological think tanks 
polluted with narcissists and 
ill informed miscreants 
it's where we present 
those fractured and 
manipulated versions of 
ourselves 
This is the new world we 
discovered through coppery wire 
and high speed connections
visionaries armed with punch 
cards and magnetic tape 
and the irony in all this? 
despite all the promises 
we are still 
nothing more 
than isolated devices
