Street Tech Poem: Digital Monster by Brandon Moore
Towering, menacing above me Speaking, crying, whispering for me to come inside and see There was a door in the middle of 23rd Yes a big big door in the middle of the street standing erect The monster calling me hither pushing urging commanding me to open its wooden frame So I arose standing in front —No choice— I opened the door Slowly with fear in my heart looking down as if shy then I lifting my eyes upward—I saw—I saw— A new world!!! Yea man I saw a new world!! One foot forward and the door shut, locking itself, I cried for help but all I saw was computers on the shelf! I saw new age soldiers computers on their backs linked to satellites rotating the heavens 1 and 0’s everything either on or off backward or forward hard or soft but I remained strong—in this binary world—the monster had pushed me forward into a new world I knew nothing about, separated, yes divided from the rest as they ran forward, I tried to start a stride but my feet were stuck—yes due to lack of knowledge of this world I couldn’t move, backpedaling on cords and strings tripping on power supplies and outlets which hung from the dark sky like a dream, I was dying like the others their bodies canceling like word perfect windows I pushed myself to my feet and beheld a fountain from behind, drinking, I drank, as a camel in the desert, drinking, I drank of knowledge and grew strong enough to run—yes strong enough to run.
