Long-range cord of the short pronged plug

Be wary of the permanent place,

for the permanent place is the most astral social rank of all.

Where is my permanent place?

Is it online?

I think the cord connecting the pronged plug is too long.

The plug’s cord feels the longest.

Compared to what is in the wall.

Never forget the long-range cord of the short, pronged plug.

Dark screen means no power.

Dark becomes light = power on.

Active status.

What if the dark screen never turned on again?

I would never see the wooly grouping of my generation destroyed.

How I mourn healthy humans on the internet.

Am I upset by how wooly-headed they are?

Does it tear me apart to see healthy humans so confused?

Be wary of the virtual self, they say.

The virtual self can have an inactive status.

A virtual self is a ghost; a virtual self is lamentable.

A virtual self can be rabid and hostile.

I cannot help but stare at the procursive dark screen.

Never forgetting the long-range cord of the short, pronged plug.
