i cannot
hold back
the torrent of tears
i fear this
storm will wash
a fool away

god’s mechanical
heart wheezes
as divinity is
replaced with electrons
a holy binary for
the bipolar choir

i weep endlessly
for the transition
as i slowly petrify
giving my humanity
to pacify the avarice
in dullwitted deification

a series of ones and zeroes
prophetic mutterings from
the haunted wing of this
abandoned sanitarium where
the electronic papacy
reprograms existence
