Buzz, beep
Demanding glare of a flickering screen
Hands rifle through pockets and purses
Find validation in rigid thumbs
Hands forgot to join in prayer last night
But glide over a keyboard
I woke feeling zero
Turned to her blinking monitor eyes
I heard her smile 
Nothing more than Morse code for 
Error four-oh-four
I woke feeling one
Huxleyan white noise 
Of pixels impregnated with the passions of the ignorant
Feel me 
But do not touch me
For I am no different than those fools
Making love to the Device
 Half-hearted 
And I can’t help but wonder
Why I’m even attempting Poetry
In a world that cannot read its own digital tongue
