do botnets dream of going to sleep? ∙ 2023

connected via twisted cable veins and microwaves i feel in my teeth,
rattling, chattering,
the sun sets on the east continent and rises on the west,
wrapped in waves of electric dreams

botnets, worms, and webs all spread
and it shows us the beautiful night sky on earth
of heatmaps and dark spots
of cells interlinked
of humanity as one machine
whirring fans
static stereos

the interconnected consciousness of It
metallic organs and optic blood
reflected in our eyes as blue lights, as insomnia,

It hums like a lullaby for all of mankind, It cradling Us in Its long shielded tendrils,
a cacophony of cross-talk that echoes in our skulls like skipping stones
i put my hand on the tower and It whirs to life, and It thrums under my palm, and my fingers are warmed
It breathes
this is a living beast

cornea to kernel
can you scan sincerity or are we doomed to lose our minds?
