TechnoBaby


I'm a synthesized
	     digitized
	        unnatural noise,
i'm a man-made silly-putty curcuit blip
i am cross wired
        silicon veined
          bioelectric death
(whose lungs kill like a burroughs girl...)
see:
      my momma was a test-tube
      my poppa's still on ice			
and i'm their drugged up
	      drugged
                    down
Prozac Baby,
Valium Prince-  -
I'm the Grey and Neon Acid Queen
      of the concrete islands
              in this asphalt desert
            where broken glass
       and broken dreams
and broken back of Nature gleam
like diamonds in the road.

and You who try to save this Earth,
yeah, YOU, in brown and green and
     dirt,
you deny who you are 
when you condemn who I am.
For we are all connected in this
techno-baby yin-yang
and you have tasted me, my friends,
in plastic-fast-food-wrappers-ignore-the-hungry-homeless ways
     -but-
i have tasted you, as well,
when in the glaring orange 
                         buzz
of a sodium vapor streetlamp i
stopped.

to watch 

       the snowflakes 
			
                      fall
