# best time ever. I'm Optimus, optimal, an optimistic alien in disguise, foldin' prayer hands, mutterin' through a busted mic. (Amen) in a cricket-brown lot till the dirt starts to fester, latent space rot. (damn) Earth sequestered, Mars tunnel dream. (to the moon) geode-gripped ancestor, red dust illusions, pacified, pestered, opposable thumb extinction, the Darwin machine, synthesized nascently, artificial reality, an intelligence surpassing me. "It just works!" Fuck... I work too. Don't I? (don't I...?) --- finger-laced tokens, pressurized to ship, offshoring my thoughts to the same cheap feed, running: Survival-as-a-Script. (yeh) where dot-com homogenizes bio-arbitrage into monoculture slop, dinner menu corn, glyphosate content, microplastic frog, off-gassed pot. (damn) --- My hope spoke... while tight in a noose: "Here Lies..." Never mind. Wait, wait... what was I sayin'...? notification brain got my dopamine swayin'. (ding) four-wall tract home, dunno my neighbors, jus' sayin'... "Living in the best time ever." Who's payin'? --- digital friendship footprints like thumbs, votes and hearts, blue light censorship, all go to the rhythm, gray matter incision, click the bait. (daily dose of lies) rollercoaster rebels. 9/11, survived. Patriots Acted 'til data, connived. apparently Shazam, died. nostalgia, implied. --- Toy Story canceled. (for what?) polluted landfill. (damn...) yet, still I sit, gout-foot crippled, smelling Subway conspiracies like Reddit credibility. (I know a guy) yeah... this information density, sugarcoating our eyes, memories ferment, sublime, into a liminal guise, evoking thoughts like... why windows stay open when no one's outside. no one's outside no one's outside (yeah) no one's outside no one's outside no one's outside no one's outside (yeh) when no one's outside no one's outside no one's outside (yeah) no one's outside no one's outside no one's outside no one's outside no one's outside
