the mechanical god
has fallen into
disrepair disuse
as shinier objects
take center atage

as the digital age
swallows the world
in an opaque blue
that dulls the senses
of sensory overload

the last gear rusts
in aortic spasms
sheering
the pin that kept
the world afloat

awash in ones and zeros
the new overlord
hoards data
like the finest wine
in vast hard drive heavens
