The Devouring

all at once (circumambient & endogenous)--- 365 days, 12 months, 52 weeks, 24 hours, 60 minutes, 60 seconds & then centiseconds & milliseconds etc., etc., etc., (you can do the math) one wo/man with eyes peeled screaming perpetually open in front of their prospective screens--- hooked up, tuned in & the electronic stimulants being shot back at them flicker as sporadically quick & acute as the tongue of a hydromantes dancing, discoing, salsa-ing atop & alongside the very retinas now fast becoming one with the screen that they are so very close to adhering themselves to a new destiny a new place in the fabric of time wherein, the devouring mechanism sucks in those willing to coast the wave in which drowning is no longer an option & the burden (and quite possible boredom) of immortality is brought upon their heads 10 fold.
