Vanilla: Te Dium

(hacking it in interurbia)

By John Hawkins


.

Now voyeurs / keyboard jungling / predatory tappy toe

gargoogles / down and qwerty / the pharmas in the Dell

slashburningslash / by gaslight / as they go go go


.

New World / Nazis / spearphishin' / in Auschwitz Bay

(one-half jew killed / each second / for four years): don't ask / don't tell

Charles Boyer's / keyboard jungling / promontory tippy toe


.

Dancing algorithms / duckrabbit cabarets / compliant human clay

the imprismed light / the upward cries unheard / Dante's data hell

Gargoogles light ass-gas with Bics and watch the blue flower glow


.

Space between your ears / the last frontier is / gray

Colonial convergence: it will sell / cell by cell / it will sell

Slashingslurring / keyboard jungle / on productplacement tipsy toe


Fascist entropy / inertia / digital decay

In the big black / man hole / tolls Pavlov's bell

Gargoylin' and gaslightnin' as they go


.

We know it didn't have to be this way

It's just the way all the dominoes fell

Through the keyboard jungle on tippy toe

Gargoyling and gaslighting as they go
