Crusofied 2017

Just no internet for a couple of days and 

realizing how much time I spend on it 

every day as extention of mind into world 

and now, cut off, how much smaller quickly 

it gets...sure, plenty of people fill these

streets with lives, but it's not as if 

they have anything to say just trundling 

along as they do from taco to taco in 

Mexico... (something else in the other 

someones' somewhere elses...)

...no, the internet, the hive mind makes 

us feel connected even though we're not,

so,

alone on a beach or in a crowd leaving  

from work makes no difference 

alone with the monkey mind looking 

for the lost banana.You can paint a face 

on a coconut, and, for some, it's as good 

as a relationship. Text all day and it feels 

about the same.
