NOT THE FUTURE

I see it.
Perfection taking over,
The empty analogue objects.
Booklets for everything,
Booklets in everything,
And everything in a booklet.

Analogue empty,
With the ageing effort,
Of the techno-phobe.
You ironic anti-technology statements.
Digitally recorded.
For easier accessibility.

Never a slave,
You will be,
To a machine.
You laboriously post,
On internet message boards.
Checking for replies.

Anonymous ghosts,
Caught in the digital recession,
Looking back over,
What use to be fields of glory.
Now all you can see is ..
But Janus won't let you look.

As I read this I thought of how close to the truth this futuristic piece truly is, and it is one scary thought. Nicely done.

(sigh) Oh my gosh, this too felt very futuristic to me, dearest friend, how haunting it would be to have everything as a booklet between another booklet! (big hugggsssss) This is deserving of a vote, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Not in my realm of like. An interesting piece and nicely presented and certainly vote worthy. I voted.
