"SECURING YOUR FACE"
as it becomes tied to you online
inescapably
a tool of access
never again
featureless, indistinct
it’s confining
how do you touch anything without leaving
the corrosive oils of your fingerprints
somewhere in this server farm
is a vast vault of faces
you won’t just be seen anymore
a billboard on the street
recognized you
and calls you by name
metadata captures your reaction
ah!!! the sky is falling!!!
just kidding.
your face is in the clouds
laying down emotions
think of
everyone in the crowd here tonight
laying facedown and breathing calmly
The last joyful no ones shy behind avatars
speak without repercussions
for now
my suggested strategy is
to remove yourself

I had a dream a little bear was outside my cabin playing guitar. It had a precocious voice, like Dakota Fanning circa 2005.
I took her to the carnival, disguised as my little sister, in a big hat and summer dress.
She got away from me, and seeing her alone on the roller coaster, I was so scared for her. In that moment, I feared for the little bear as if she really was my sister.

The waxwing and Jinfengopteryx are made from the same papercuts, rearranged.
