heart-rendering

in 3D across from me sits a lady dressed in black
she is on a mac.
in the distance, at 12:05 sits a man with a scan
in front of a fan.
i rock back and forth with a pearl-white netbook
that has the look of ipod, not odd, the base is
the same case.
in the air there, earnest music distributes itself
from a laptop shelf.
the bass boost level is over the top, as you'd
expect in any shop.
the man walks past me with a blackberry clutched
in hand, he's not saying much.
rain outside and another laptop arrives with
beret, hipster stir.
nothing goes on in america, we steal your wireless
mr and ms linksys for our own business.
i get email and reply, i see 3D right now, it seems
crawling in the room, out of the womb.
ready for action my arm moves away from the face,
away from the face, into space.
i can see my hand at a slightly greater distance
for instance.
turning my head, the display seems to play, there
are other things to see in 3D.
the sound follows me, will follow me, bad music
around the corner like a lurking sojourner.
closing my eyes puts my scan into sleep mode,
i hibernate next to the road.
i know no good will come from this, i look down,
frown, my finger lingers over a key, see?
the key with the question holds me in rapture,
it's a contraption.
philosophy is one as well, a contraption holding
no one in thrall, we're here that's all.
a moment to lament, the 3D lady has gone away
this rainy day.

"The often atrocious circumstances of our struggle made
it possible, in a word, for us to live out that unbearable,
heart-rending situation known as the human condition in a
candid, unvarnished way."

- Sartre
