What wakes me at night
Is a fear of outage
Losing our connections
Digital and wireless
VR and AR and AI
To the world outside.
No lights and no dial tone
No disembodied voices
“Alexa, what am I to do?”
Next to nature alone
Without a singularity
Gone with the grid
That gave breath
To our illusions.
Only the grey rain
And weeds.
