Digitalization of Lifeworld

Peering on the river

Far below

And following its guide

Through the vestige of cognizance

An office held

By some eastern concept

Diluted in the jade

Umbrella pinning your thoughts

Dawning the restrictions

Of your existential bipartite

It was then well outside

The geometric streamlining of wealth

Where the digitalization of the lifeworld

Came true

And at last you were consumed

In your wanting

To embark the Digital River

The moments past

Where you peered into infinity

Converged on the other shore

Your soul branded

In crossing the desert of language

In spanning the digital divide

The great expanse of the rising SEA

Elevating the standards of your thoughts

And enclosing the departed bank

In an apparent horizon left behind

For the absolute held taught

A god thrown into the water

And reminiscing the dry hills

Of the valley of death

Wherein you once walked

Through the shadow of technology

And the logic was divine

An embellishment of Reason

That guided your steps

In straight lines

Along the taut strands of human consciousness

Once a figment of your imagination

Now mere a fragmented integration of information

In the image of its categorical derivative

Saved on the cloud

To be executed at the Second Coming

The united existence of all

Consumed incorporate philosophy

So be it then in your daily asunderings

And flights of self

Wore on the selfsame yolk of your freedom

Engraved in the diligent marks of 2011

The year of collaboration

And the great convergence

When all things tended together
And spoke to one another

For the first time

All over again 

Déjà vu au courant

Another deep dive
Into the communal emotion

Of greyed eyes’ already seen

Bedazzlement
With the colorful uniformity of pop culture
A communism of the spirit
Uttered through the aggregated mass appeal
Of individual context
And staged for the world to analyze
In the wake of superstitious Reason
Left behind in crossing
The desert of language pervades your thought
Did you flee the light again?
In the gentle coloring of fall
The city’s modest greenery affords
The nurture of a natural aesthetic
Saturating your thoughtless echoes
In the vast simplicity bearing your soul
Through redundant motions
Rotating fast
And gestures of your spine
The wind threatened to buckle
For fear the awareness of a pattern
Would wipe you clean
Selfless for science and purpose
Save your mystery in a stateless environment
And the contrast tending to black
A linea negra la cruz bête noire
Midnight river running your impregnated soul
To be born again
Along the straight line of human Reason
In the divine consciousness
Of empty space
Your stark opposite
Hung across
Would you open your eyez
In the darkest silence of your voice?
See the world all over again
Déjà vu au courant
Nada for nada la vida no vale
Aging in your idols
The twilight to be borne
Now come my son
Emerge into the new light of your innocence
To clear your free space in the cloud 
A ceremony we perform
