and then
there is
us left
alone
reduced to
code produced
passion realized
in entire
playgrounds
at our
disposal
and we are
given the
age-old
task to resist
temptation
become, instead,
like a stock
photos on
steroids
tokens of
individualism
proof that we
hit all the
talking points
pitched to us
post aptitude
test the twilight
it’s persisted
all night
like any
great con
distant appearances
held the
potentiality
often mistook
for dreams
embodied
the sine
wave synth
dance passionate
slapping overtop
the hole
between
industry
and then
there is us
left alone
