For you, a thousand times over.


like white caps on sideways mountains
breathe all that is me
i glow in the radiation
like a cyber bride adorned in white
break my neck to love you
feed you with reboots
it is a constant battle under my
eyes, a trapped thought between
snakes of gooey brain
majority rules and they are like
dinosaur bones brittle with age.
contention building like legos.
extinction doesn’t fit passivity well.

like all that i am is a set of hands
that are replaying a game of tracing
everything that is not mine
i am the height of the consumer
overdoing, digesting, listening to the
clicking music
and we are like dinosaur bones:
easy to break. easy to break.

like i am made of pixels, all is square
the home network went limited
and it only took me minutes to crack
my wrists. (broke my neck to love you)
my retina was fried, bled out my eyes
this internet love is like dinosaur bones;
only a shell, a fossil, skeletal imprints
the real thing died a long time
ago and yet

i am back for more

more of our home limited love
(like dinosaur bones)

I hate stereotypes, therefore I only speak for a PORTION of Generation Z. Hello cyber babies. Sometimes we don't know when to stop (myself included). This one is for you ;)

I'm a sucker for creative titles. And this one is perfect. I feel like this poem captures our generation immaculately. Well done.
