Bye, o' Tex...... knowledge? Gee.

 

 


                          electromagnetic


         pulse

 

pounds
ghost machines


     slouching
             in the dark 


        silence      drinks

the wind


       still

 


             hot     push


        from  inside

 

                  out

 

           tiny
              micro             moths,  

  flutter,           wave


                          lost
                 with no suicide light

 

merry go round squeaks
        a lonely       

               sound


                 

                        wondering
                                    

 

 

                                         who will ride?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Author notes

Microwave.

think doomsday. think depopulation. think of a return to the dark, an end of technology, thanks to technology....

Oh! by the way, say the title REALLY fast.....
Yep!
it says biotechnology.
or bye old technology.
which of course comes from...knowledge!!! gee!!!
very good!

I googled microwave technology. WOW! I had no idea! EMP's (electromagnetic pulse) is generated by microwave, for one thing. (EMP is a wave of energy that fries everything electronic within it's range) But that's just the tip of the iceburg. This technology has fathered some terrifying doomsday weapons, that can shut down the electronic impulses of our brain functions....that can cook us where we stand, from the inside out, unless shielded by steel
or lead, but doesn't burn paper or wood.....or moth wings.

Spooky...Personally, I mainly use mine to make popcorn! Anyway, check the link.

    well I'd added this to my finalists list, but never commented. I love the abstract feel to this and how it makes my mind race.

    wonderful.

    The format is cool, but a little sloppy-- at the same time it makes it interesting, lol, so indecisive right.
    I thought as for what poem contains, you did an excellent job, definitely went out of the box, and put forth lots of effort. This was very creative, I like this.

      Thanks Tyler! The format was intended to sort of simulate the fluttering of moths, that no longer have a source of light to adher to, to fling themselves against, and so are scattered...incohesive. Glad you liked it!

    Interesting background to this - all those bits and parts all over. Different use of space, and thoughts about microwaves. Unique write,
