Panopticon
there's a tower for every watcher,
you're not the only one that sees--
i mean right from where you see.
forget behavior modification reduced
to paranoia-- you're observationally
angulated to a star.
you & a priest may stroll around a dim
screen in your minds, while the priest
guesses who you are.
just as a guard may be picking at his
cuticles while the necks of prisoners
needlessly tingle.
what is it that feels watched--from
genitalia to 665 secrets cutting a key for
the next & last?
the Panopticon creates a surveillance
pressure cooker--which's rudimentary
compared to the supernatural.
