"TECHNOLOGY DETOX"(St.Vincent(Annie Clarke)


He stops in the middle of his song(cell phone rings
"Excuse me,i just have to answer this
She talks too loud in the Mall /you can overhear every detail
My email mounts up like a tax bill when neglected like a virgin bride
Texts assume sensory dominance/real estate time apportionment
More time turns virtual than eye to eye ,voice to ear
Displacement clocks  at the bottom of your PC screen/days depart sans daylight
Nights in response to generic ,collective,anonymous
stolen,borrowed clothes.You, naked,raped.
wonder where your old life went.Unplug.Now you can hear birds,see trees,sit in gardens
No one cares.They ,addicts,habituate contact with someone else.World moves on
Your song comes out of you.Stronger,clearer.Water from source.
Drink this life back in.Sing it new.Underneath all technology=you...
