IN FACT

liminal zone
masquerading
as downtown coffee shop

me (par
for the course) all
over
the place

me and my chatbot
me and my avatar
three-
some plus one
table for four

double dating, rearranging,
exchanging, explaining

hard to impress
these doyens of
hard tech
with native wisdom

have mapped every
fact retrospectively
through our
entire
human history

every bit byte whatever you
binary system call it
every
universal snapshot

all those juicy, revelatory
life changing snippets
of resounding
information

we in our
divine hubris
just so happen to forget
