Cyber! Neon green, pinks, Hair like vivid spotlights At nightclubs, darting, sharp, Strong-willed and persistent, Piercing through the pale skin Laid thinly over fog.
Shock-shock! If anarchy Is popular, what does It mean to rebel? Rave Lights beam through the system Like tracer rounds! The punks Spin like halogen bulbs.
Steel! Plenty of plastic. Enough to rebuild the Eccentric walls of their Flashy nightclubs. Above, Sophisticated chains Spin and drag over meat;
Pointless. A simple sort Of mechanisation. The music, the plastic, The hair dye; all of it Spits to the contrary, Such anarchists are they.
A poem about failure. #32 in the Distant Dystopia anthology.
