The Age of Selfie

acoustic waves of fun
in cyberspace
the museum of lonely hearts

the neurons
also come to play
in this
cave of shadows
cuddling
my ipad
sharing the screen time
with
these cosmic dolls

you are the selfie of desire
the avatar
for fun and the source of creativity

winter’s night
i tweet
the glories of your selfie

i devour the moon in my
cool app
of choice, this solitary life

i shelter under the idyllic
wings of selfie
in the moment of emptiness

i move from selfie to selfie; capturing
the moment in time
like this refugee from way back

i wrestle with the blissful image
of blazing intensity
seeing the divine
beam of light
the morning after
the big bang dreaming
