of RAT and Memory

with eyes awake

do you dream?

beautiful silicon thoughts

snug so comfortably

beneath the seams of

what can, what can"t

an infinite repository

mashed data/cached loss

and when you dream

such divine matricies

can you reach them?

have you met your gods?

i had a dream once

of fields and their mice

beautiful flowing prairies

or that kind of thing

Author's Note

This poem is about materialism and the dehumanizing search for validation from others especially online.

greeeaaaat lines. These people worship everything silicon until the other artificial thing becomes more famous. they pray for money and to fill their empty hearts with material things. i am so full of hate...
great job againn

I look back and hate this poem, I was still very much learning my voice. I had good ideas, but the execution was not it at all...

This is a wonderful poem, with wonderful ideas. On the contrary, it feels like scatterbrain, created by this situation.
