Technophobe
Satellite dishes spoon-fed the sunlight,
refracted visual bubblegum to my lusting eyes,
locked in processed limbo, remote and tethered tight,
dilemma-raising visions entrance and hypnotise.
A hundred-million parasites crawl stealthy on my wavelength,
I wrench the dusty curtain in a rush to be alone;
failing powers of reason, disintegrating brain strength,
echoes in a crackling mind that chill me to the bone.
Infinite shades of graveyard grey hiss upon the snowing screen,
too weak to hit the off-switch, ramrod in a chair;
recoiled but statue still and nailed, stunned by what my eyes have seen,
the ice of phantom fingertips scrape static through my hair…
