Has that youth with his trendy bluetooth,
a floating facebook profile
somewhere out in cyberspace?
Does his firewall protect
his software from the malware
and the trojanhorse’s spyware;
does his snapchat netiquette
rule his hastyclick addiction,
contain his infotainment, edutainment,
and I-tune opportunities?
and block out all the snakesites
with sneaky toxic silkenbytes,
while he photoshops, makes podcasts
and with gigabytes of clicks
fills backup memory-sticks,
with never time to ponder
even with autoresponder.
Does he live at all in real-time,
or overclock in hyperlinks
having very busy heatsinks,
with his weaving, waving joystick,
to adjust the game-screen-graphic
more smoothly than with key-click,
overwriting, phishing, pharming,
phreaking, … charming …
cybercrime …
… Screen-freeeze … debug?
… System-crash
Hard-close.
