Description body div#devskin0 hr { }

is a brain, removed from shell
 disconnected
from signal wires. still viable (?)
 maybe.

blue teeth and instant grams
 and gallons of conceit;
our granular portrait no longer flatters
 unless dull spots and imperfections are rendered
out in the wash--

we mask and filter, ask and answer,
   bask in banter
understanding no one ever even thinks
  to change the thought they've already had.

old news, rotten
  if revisited. inquisitive
    minds have nothing better to do

but second guess assumptions,
  better than first-blush conundrums
that don't fit the formula we've written

for how the world works;
 it's absurd to think
  this is where our techno-fetish finds us,

dancing a new-aged bacchanalia to an ever-present god:

Self.

And all his pleasures are instant. And he knows everything
 without ever moving a muscle.

I don't know why, but these lines stick with me the most. Nicely penned.
