Real Virtuality

by Wednesday, September 16th, 2009.

Laptop logged on
texting
calling
tweeting
facebooking the fact that
you
are on a bus.

As if anybody
cares
reads
listens
to the fact that
you
are on a bus.

Only gratification to feel
famous
important
lucky
in the fact that
you
are on a bus.

For if nobody knows the fact that
you
are on a bus,

surely

you

do not

e x i s t.

Virtual is reality
there is no diving wall,
nothing to distinguish the two
all-in-one yet not one-in-all
if you do not exist in one
you do not exist at all.

So you contemplate as you
text (stand up)
call (walk)
tweet (step off)
facebook everyone you know
about the little fact that came to
you
while you were on a bus.
