Radical Love (…for the internet)

Today I did a presentation
On radical love,
“A love so extreme it erases boundaries”,
Perhaps that’s what this has always been,
Because the boundaries between us are but marks on a map,
And the oceans flow into one another,
The landmasses are our sailboats,
These are not boundaries dividing us,
And even if there were we’d find a way
To connect,
Thank the stars for the internet

Memes

They choose
Not to think,
Because thinking is hard,
They let the memes think, speak for them,
Agreeing, acquiescing, promoting
The said and unsaid thoughts of its creator,
Who needs a mind when there is a meme.

Audience

July 21, 2017

We scream,
Into a computer screen
our hopes,
our fears,
wishes,
dreams

The vanity!
We crave,
An audience
To validate the self
Remind us
of our own existence

And so,
on we scream
