Visibility

A short poem exploring the conflict between wanting to make the most of the modern/digital world whilst wanting to maintain a degree of privacy and autonomy.

Somehow, someway, we

manage to stay

in .our. land

of shadows 

Where sunlight ceases

to reach, us 

and seldom 

do strangers 

see .us.

What are we, miscreants 

vagabonds; really?

Out of sight

and out of sync

Menacing 

So their implied

agency - they

think for .our.

secret world

A malignancy 

Visibility 

Such a crucial

feature of

a          transparent 

society

Our land of

shadows, but

for how long?

When .we. face

the charge of

digital degeneracy,

deviancy

We might as well

be faceless...

to /them/
