In this liquid you call -- the electronic ether The swimming creatures Make their instantaneous way Through my spine Onto the shores of clicking pebbles Into the vastness You insist on defying They leap into the private pond On top of your desk Parading their undeniable presence Before your denying eyes Look How much longer Will you stare at these blinking stars How many more flickering volcanoes Until you realize that This virtuality is no less than reality Come as they may On the wings of watts, wires or waves Their origin cannot be betrayed: Of pure verve .............And human nerve.
