The Ego, The Internet, and Language

huxley said that true communication is impossible
materialists, so bound by the ego
so infantile, their clinging to their selves

what a sad life one must lead
to believe all of existence, exists
merely to serve you
your selfish solipsism

intentional deceit, distraction
cryptic communication for the sake of
protecting your ego, inflating it even
perpetuating neruda’s insurmountable solitude
because if you are misunderstood, oh you must be better!
the confusion, like a stamp of authenticity on your suffering

but neruda was right
solitude is not so insurmountable after all
the gaps of language
are being filled with pixels

mumbling into the void

are you talking with everyone
or just yourself
(for yourself)

do you like
your microcosm

can you feel
the vacuum

when you mumble into the void
does it respond
affirmatively
or is it critical
(painfully, so)

does it even respond
at all?

oddities of humanity as symtoms of a post-modern society

like sending your next door neighbor a christmas card through the post,
a career artist that makes a living on paintings of starbucks cups,
or vocally and unapologetically being kelly clarkson’s biggest fan in 2013
