almost segregated,
I slid my calloused fingertips and clipped nails,
over the bluetooth pearl-white keyboard, I did not show myself distraught, not minded if keyed and wedged between bone and byte

ice-skates —creating a love relation
with a light, thin yet mysterious layer of water over ice, tensioning an overtly sharp edge, determined to pressure— would be envious.

Transition glides between ware and aware
and has been persuaded and blurred
for centuries now, no, clearly millennia even

metamorphosis has only just begun,
watery and slippery, sounding fissures, prolapsing on melting grounds: we are reading the introduction to digital humanities

humans have been digits and pincers and eyes and hands and coordinations, plannings as gratifying delusions of schemed control

brought to fruition by the edge of swords slicing ice cold layers of watered down versions into peace and other entrapments

Hardware is wireless now
—while wetwear identities migrated
and trickled, or were scraped, or delegated, or mopped up— unthreading twists are a thing of the past

in ether, into soil, into atmospheres,
out of glass-fiber wires, out of reach,
onto the play of electrons and magnetic waves

plays of power-handlers and smitheries of stainless frames without chemistry, no love no preferred relations, just related data and multidimensional patterns

to where it is immaterial you matter,
and increasingly are tied into the network
I’m tied to you now as dry skin on the sole of your avatar’s left foot

stepping onto the interbellum of a disk wipe and a backup, a brooding spawns spit-out chewing-gum of rights to be forgotten.

What’s today’s date of any day in the realm of virtual data creation; when we still call for synthetic New Year’s Days to come:

be well be renewed be flushed from zeros
flare up and show yourselves
in a positive psychology of all be ones!
