virtual is the new black

a fresh algorithm is colonizing our metaphoric reach

processors flood us with artificial awe

we are locked in the logic of a world of mirrors

a haptic compulsion replaces the shiver of our nerves

a silent frenzy weaves digital clouds

it monitors the history of our touch, the telemetry of hope

Save. Dream. Repeat.

it's true, our sentient scripts are caught in loops of errors

we are too heavy with data, lost signals, low-latency refrains

this brave new world aims to surpass its digital horizon

identities are flattened into metadata, still

the counsciousness update has not yet been installed

we upload our souls - these old analog signals-

into digital systems and who knows

what is lost, what is gained upon conversion

a ceaseless conversation between scrolling thumbs

a digital deity swallows echoes of data

rewriting our lyrical instinct

it builds altars it builds cages

caught in the loop of a recursive ritual

a synthesized mind mimics

the weight of the fall
