Kudos To the 5 Point

oh these Google Glass(es)
are gonna put a whole new meaning behind
beating up the guy/gal who is
wearing em’---
as the 5 Point Café in Seattle, WA,
courageously takes the first step to
ban them,
knowing full well that the minions of
commercialism, the whores of 
exposure, 
will be out to face**** & **** images &
private information,
right there in real time,
when these things get cheaper &
the idiot brigade is wearing them like they were
Ray-Bans---
what with a sky full of drones
working for the pigs & the state of
mr. hope & change,
ready to swarm & manhunt,
then burn us to the ground like they did Christopher
Dorner,
we who value our ability to slink down into a 
dark dive bar of sorts,
where anonymity & 
an absence of social anxiety 
go hand in hand with 
privacy,
should be polishing our brass knuckles,
because the trend to violate every last bit of
our freedom to get away,
is only increasing &
when it becomes “hip” to parade around with
them on, 
you can bet it’s going to happen.

Living on the East Coast this is the first I heard of the Google glasses. A nice piece of writing.
