Time On The Internet

I spend twelve hours a day average

on the internet. How’s about you?

Yes, it fills the time nicely, it’s true, and,

let’s face it, I’m not going anywhere.

But I also consider it doing research 

on the quantum maze as it unfolds…

(pause to put on noir music)

…not just history in the making…

more like watching reality evolve

like a kaleidoscope, a claymation,

into a different, foreign manifestation,

not just polarization.

Perhaps, even, interstellar visitors.

Put that in your paradigm and smoke it.

So, yes, so many clues proliferate on a

magic screen, not that what’s happening 

is truly being seen, more a shadow play,

the truth hidden behind a curtain dream.

Besides, there is so much I see there that

I don’t really want to be anywhere near;

the civil unrest and lawlessness I’m not

around, the craziness of the mob, 

no thanks, I’d rather be gratefully here

with a magic window to the great somewhere.
