“I feel rather postdigital this morning, dear,”
shared Ying with her life’s partner
with whom she also shared
bed, breakfast and other
modern social imaginaries

“Can we agree
it’s one of those days
I’m ‘easy to type in a search box’?”
Against all social consensus,
her partner did indeed agree
by staring at her digits

While monoversing, Ying’s impersonalized
weatherperson forecasted
an unequal distribution of data
across the south-western region of the city

and that with a small chance of predictive policing
at the upper west side of town.
Though, it should have cleared up
by eleven-ish half sides CET

Weather is important,
it’s the only safe thing
to brainchipchat about,
or so we thought,
no more
