fibre optics

the world was shrink wrapped, cling filmed and served
our minds warped and melted till its flexible
our fibre optics relaying
the plasma moon smudged across the water colours
bringing to life the grey
the static stars twinkling
flickering
fading
we focus
the reel coming to an end
our eyes set

the image pixelates
to white and blue
found another station; another day
the voices crackling and booming
telling us what we want
they put us on mute .

The title caught my curiosity and the poem is an enjoyable read both for the images it paints and the subtle inference about where society is leading us.
