2120
The oceans
Mined the skies
Crowded much as
A hundred years ago
But more intense a pace
With fewer living reserves
Banning high tech facilities
Where those who prefer living
In the past avoid being uplinked
Into the web by refusing a chip
Insertion living isolated lives
Unaware of what’s going
Down real time clinging
To some primitive idea
Of individuality at a
Cost of being too
Burdensome to
Function in the
Info stream or
Even use the
Transport
A danger
Trying to
Navi in
The
Pipeline
Five by five
Safer for all on
A living reserve
For those unable
To keep the pace up.
So much easier if uplinked
At birth web-comfy app-cozy
Always knowing right from wrong
For each cycle updated always
Never out of touch never an
Outie rather an in-crowder
Fashion-wise and chic
Studded tattoos in
Place for the
Cycle.
Or,
Hide
In the
Reserves
And amuse
Us by reading.
We keep an eye
On your real behavior.
