Boolean Checklist

The shuffle of conception
  veils intent behind promised order
      until every umbrella-opened mind
         cries out for truth, the 
liberator, sleep.

Surrendering misplaced trust
   proves the natural sequence remains
      behind the reptilian empire, ancient
         wealth, eugenic lies, 
mechanical time.

I tap once for yes and twice
   for no, yet no matter where I shall go
      elements of control box-in my soul
         using microchip, camera and 
satellite.

A jump, knock at my door!
   I answer; the answer cries out in you,
      our friendship, the cosmos of wonder
         ablaze in the open glow 
engulfing me.

John, this your masterpiece. This is the picture of our age and times, and these imageries break the boundaries of the virtual, making the real sublime and immediately frightening with potentiality. I love it. Thanks for writing on my poem. Peace and love.
