It Figures #24
Suppose the world were
Nothing But Net.
It’s been done, you say?
Oh yes, that movie.
But that movie,
all of those movies,
always leave a little
R/T crowd around
to struggle against
the evil of the net
if for nothing else.
But let’s suppose
it’s already been done,
that there is no little R/T crowd,
and that solar blare in the sky
is just some hexadecimal
slipping through a register.
The anxiety you are feeling
is merely a broken pointer.
What would be the difference?
well, there would be a re-set button,
I think.
Re-incarnation anyone?
