Linked In

the zeitgeist wants technocracy

and the staffers at present

are staring off the precipice

 

the black hole of digital

reality is sucking them

in at an exponential rate

 

a new kind of citizenship

has emerged making the

staffers unwilling

vanguards in an

untelevised revolution

that has been thrust

upon them like a

Frankenstein version

of Shakespearean greatness

 

being linked in is becoming

an imagined meadowlark on

an electronic prairie

 

and in reality, the staffers

may ntoice but are still numb

 

at the same time,

is numbness always

a sign of trouble?

 

not everybody is lacking

in career fulfillment by

not talking in one-hundred

forty character chunks

 

isolation and abstinence

are great things for

many, many people

 

being left behind from

the technological rapture

is a blessing unto itself

 

free agency will always

trump the zeitgeist
