"kilobyte" poems
Cover your mediocrity.
With your digital identity.
The semi-logical fuckery.
Of the modern technology.
The start of a new generation.
A flood of false information.
Have caused the war of miscommunication.
And as we feed on fake emotion.
Our intelligence suffer from deterioration.
All is temporary.
Type delete save an image of a rosary.
Pathetic pixelated society
Who ***** you for being holy.
Make a mistake, that's what keeps them happy.
Lowlifes that only has a kilobyte of memory.
End times have come.
Where knowledge is neglected.
It is a war but normal to some.
Oh how I love to join but I am
Disconnected.

A Kilobyte was on her lips;
Two Megabytes were at her ribs
a Gigabyte was on a show at night
Windows opened just let in, the light
The application packed for a job
Syntax error occurred, logging the web;
A cursor went through the body;
And a bilingual keyboard is ready;
Hard disc error was rocked in blue;
a connection failure without any clue
Memory became vague and lost with age
A word is spell checked for whole page
A web was where a spider lived
an anti- virus was the one who killed
Log on to get into the fire
Log off to put off the wire !

there we were
staring blankly at the screen
the error prompt called for
immediate demodulation
but it may as well been written in Latin
or Sanskrit –
I grabbed ahold of the digitizer with both hands
and began to **** and pry
which of course was not ergonomically correct
leaving me with a sore back and tattered finger skin
I caught the faintest sound
and thought maybe I had inadvertently tapped
into an alien frequency –
slowly it came clear to me that mainframe
only held a single kilobyte
and that with such a limited amount of storage
we would never reach the stars –
again, there came a slight modulation
with enough force to be considered noise
I instantly compared it
against the relational database
and realized, suddenly, that this had the potential
to be the real thing…
unfortunately I double checked with another terminal
and began to understand
what I was witnessing
was just a simple
user-friendly
videoconference –

It's been awhile now
Time has passed; I don't know how,
I've risen and fallen
With all these thoughts I'm haulin'
Memories that won't fade
For they were very very well made,
And no matter how much I look
In every alley crack and nook,
There is no other
Like you, why bother?
Every kilobyte I inquire
I regretfully set on fire,
For they are all smoke
You are the straw that on the camel's back broke,
More than you I'll never love
Not puppies nor rainbows from above,
Tying all my loose ends
Strings that together a rope mends,
Noose for my weary heart
Beating slower the longer we're apart,
It's been known time heals all
But since last Fall,
I've picked at this scab
Bittersweet pain I keep adding to my tab,
Sometimes I burst
At times laughter but when tears; those are the worst,
Mixed grab bag
Between emotions the most surreal lag,
Echoes of you will always be with me
And in every fresh new day your smile I will see...
