Reset #5 poem

by Paul Haeder / December 8th, 2021

ready set go
bio-net turns to 5G
power of lasers
drones magnificent
controlling body temperature
flooding corpuscles with
flavanols on command
demanding love
titrating lithium

gnats metal diode torsos
gripping buildings
computer aphids in trees
matrices spreading everywhere
modulated wherever
you go, dreams foretold
masters of illusion

some want backbreaking digging
simple sweat glands soil
percolating humanity
others squeeze acrylics
onto canvases deep
inside woods

but the masses
are amassing for meta
verses, music already
prepackaged, dirges
only syncopated with
6 G reverberations
inside spinal fluid

there are no real sci-fi
stories, just lamentations
cowboys and Indians
trekking along starships
yet human touch
outlawed in schools
public displays of affection
felonies

then you say
no reset, just tinfoil
mad hatters, jabberwocky
of unrealized youth
conspiracies of souls
all good men, good women
enter S.T.E.M. with
higher ideals, good of
country countryside continents
everlasting communities
might as well stay in hive
ants or termites
lovely colonies
held at bay

drones digital dungeons
apples as crispy as
Eden bio-mimicry
ten million colors
Mac screens, inserted
VDTs of corneal transplants

you yell no reset
no 9/11 no false
flags, unreality
proven empty thoughts
proven blind spots

resetting is new dining
table set, the new improved
you genomic reset
no more ALS MS STD
clipped and cured
DNA coiling up
this is what we
evolved from
vole or sea jelly

we are the end point
in the set, reset
reorganizing for the
good of cybernetic
mankind reset the song
music drilling at apex
of eardrum
magnificent science
