Fragile Fireflies of Imagination

the awesome wonder of this new medium/ paperless and flickering like electronic fireflies conspiring to emulate filaments of imagination/ fragile and fleeting/ the faint glow of monitors reflected on our faces/ a growing presence of intelligence/ with life dangling at the ends of links/ real lives pulsing as centers of consciousness/ the genius of the species disclosed in brilliant flashes/ the immense mediocrity echoing in images, sounds, and text/ all colliding in an incredible delible awareness deciphering meaning from the expansion of ourselves revealed/ suddenly time seems allied to our ongoing discovery of an otherness defining us from moment to moment/ tears and laughter/ wisdom and insight/ foolishness and fantasies/ the virtual world displacing the material illusions diverting us from the destiny of an infinite progression of becoming...

lightning bugs blinking their binary code, clusters of imagination gathering here and there, too many to bottle them up/ reality is an electronic wavering/ disappearing and appearing like millions of fireflies in an arkansas meadow on a summer evening....
