Individualism
The pursuit of singularity —
We find ourselves sinking into  loneliness on this path.
Erasure of the very idea that we need others.
Lost is the warmth of community, of reciprocity.
Destroyed is the environment for communal gatherings.
Built are the cubicles for each individual to stand alone.
Consumed by the power of technology.
We learn to tailor everything, even the lover standing beside you.
Heaviness grows, the whole in our chest never filling.

Individualism
The pursuit of singularity —
Each day we extirpate what’s around us for this chase.
Never realizing how important we are to each other.
The death of community, family.
