METAPHOR INTERNET

This is not an apple.This is not a window.This is not a cloud
Yet you function easily in the poetics of technology
with only tangential connection to our GOOGLE (adjective)(verb)world
There is no web.Data is user neutral.There is no net as such
and poetry owns your corporate world.You borrow Beat terms
until people forget this is a borrowed term.Interface Dilbert truths...
We sell stories and songs to each other to share our lives
We gather tribally in ancient modern circles every night
to pass the message stick and pass the peace pipe and watch smoke signals rise
These are all metaphors!Digital children laptop dance during open mikes
They pretend their screen contains the world.Outside,dawn to dusk to midnight
flowers poems and gardens ,weeds and Light.Our lives
depend upon the quality of consciousness we convey
Each night new furniture neighbor dreams move in and out of sight
Reportage is censored,edited,diluted by Spartan Centurion CIA daylight
But O! that FOOL MOON! round and white and wide-each night
new bundles of dreams fill all available eyes and ears and minds
What you will next say is a metaphor.Our meta-world translates these lines
Data may be neutral-our lives are on every line.Be wise.SHARE YOUR LIGHT!
