SURVEILLANCE
Talk about eyes in the sky
- other than Gods’,
on most street corners
and in every hand-held device;
even, in likelihood, inserted
into bio-genetic sequences
like fairy tales and science fiction;
probability being the forerunner
of invention and improbables.
The past tense cannot be undone;
only trawled over, unpicked, inspected,
second-hand in cobwebby perspective,
relived via tongue, pen or image
by way of academic deduction
via the spectrum of analogy and projection.
To learn from, build and grow on.
It is the ground for today.
We, fungi, latched for very life,
onto the great World Tree;
entrained, collectively participant,
tuned in.
No fleas attached nor use in paranoia!
The trend and principle, once thought of,
has a life of its own, unbidden,
developing, unfolding, blossoming
into avatar or monster.
No way back.
