Evolution

I sleep by the luminous light
Of my laptop, left on all night;
As closer I drift towards the place
Of digital time, life and space.
Evolution’s next step for man?
The digital body’s at hand!
When at last we move without keys;
No sickness, death nor disease.
Are not our streets paved with gold
Like in the stories of old?
Will we have eternal life,
Immune to the rifle and knife?
When the last display fades to black
With no one to power it back;
Will we find a way to survive
and keep our ‘bodies’ alive?
Perhaps it’s your state of mind;
Pixels and skin cells, I find
Are not needed eventually,
Just what your mind’s eye will see.
And so with a beep I wake up;
I fumble around for my cup,
And merge once again with my screen
To become what I once might have been.
