generation virtu-wha?? (m)

Note: written as I literally fell asleep on my computer wire

My generation sleeps on the wire

on the cords of constant connection
on the myth of instant earnings
on the fullness of today without the inconvenience of yesterday

we’re lit up with hope

strung out with work
caffeinated primped and manicured into debt
googled into silence
facebook fury expended in blurbs about dinner

we’re documented

studied
categorized
micro-marketed
packaged and
sold on ebay

we’ll all be stars
we’ll all be stars on youtube

our moment is every moment
our dance is unrehearsed
our day is divine
you’ll know us by our eyes that never shut
by the way we scream of every moment
urgently
look at this
…. at nothing

we’re changing the world
our day is every day
you need a translator to understand us
we’ll probably solve your crises
by selling virtual space on the moon
screaming
“OMG this is like so hot j/k lol fail”
