NaPoWriMo 2023 - 1 - once we're cyborgs

once we're cyborgs



once we're cyborgs

I am standing outside my house, 

unable to release the door handle!

Just put me through to tech support...


once we're cyborgs

twenty thousand Japanese girls

wearing the same left arm

as their idol


once we're cyborgs

the preface to fucking requiring

some tech-savvy, negotiation:

if I configure myself like this...?


once we're cyborgs

as many forms for people

as there are ideas of people

the whale, the tree, the somebody-new-four-times-a-day


once we're cyborgs

beeping

something's always quietly beeping 

and you never know if it's you


once we're cyborgs

I don't know...

flexes arm at fitting room mirror

...is it a bit too "Bond villain"?



once we're cyborgs

virus scanners

and ad-blockers:

life and death


once we're cyborgs

Darling, 

your father crashed at the supermarket again

can you go in your truck and pick him up?
