Confessions of a Data Miner
Dérive

I heard a scream in the middle of the night.

It stole the words straight from my soul and it split the sky.

I heard a scream and then the sound of walls collapse.

Not even the canaries could smell that cyber gas.


He said, “Don’t blame me!”


There were zeroes and ones spilling out of his mouth and dribbling down his chin while he said, “Can’t you see the waxy black scars scratched across my heart like a million jet streams painting the sky?” His skin was grafted with pornographic images of run away teenagers in compromising positions that you found in an incognito window,while blood oozed from his head like a cranial cumshot.


His eyes were alive with passwords to bank accounts, add a capital letter for social media access, a number for credit card payments, and a character for email, and watch his fingernails clatter to the ground like a blinking cursor.


“Don’t blame me.

I’m bleeding binary and you better watch out for this digital soul.

My eyes lost in the window and my body’s drifting through the screen of a specter’s dream.

Can someone pull the fucking plug on the streets of information scratching the land?

I need a sign from God.

I need a hand.”


Let’s sling our hearts from this modem’s corpse.

Let’s spill our stomachs into empty flash drives.


Let’s drape our skin over flashing screens.

Sing with the whirr of gutted disc drives.

Sing with the whack of clacking keys.

Get down with this bloodshot harmony.

Sing with the wail of a dying mouse.

Sing with the scream of encrypted keys.

Get down with this bloodshot harmony.


“Don’t blame me.

I’m bleeding binary and you better watch out for this digital soul.

My eyes lost in the window and my body’s drifting through the screen of a specter’s dream.

Can someone pull the fucking plug on the streets of information scratching the land?

I need a sign from God.

I need a hand.

I need accessories for myArmageddon.


Can someone shine a light on the dark I’m in?”
