 Outside my window 
Is an apple tree
On google maps 
The space between the two is less

But inside my microsoft home
nothing is micro 
nothing is soft
amidst the hard clangs of my windows 
 the icloud turns grey

and what even is bing
is it oppst to a ping 
and when they collide
two gators 
fighting on my small screen
and my eyes bleed
thie is what it measn to be freed

Their drives and their drivers
callously safari over my small 
adobe 
homes and windows 
apples and clouds
things of beauty 
turn ugly 

nor the shiny chrome 
nor the marine bing
ne'er the compassy safari
the great explorers of yore
promising riches and unlimited freedom
keep getting caught
in each others net

captain sam 
with his hammering ram
crashing debris 
breaking ships
till you sigh 
and ask o'why
do i have to accept so much
and enter so many 
and Agree all the time
so these engineers 
can consentfully fuck me 
in privacy 

and encrypt and transfer 
my freed groans
so that i can be secure

they protect my fragile identity 
by deconstruction
breaking it down 
in safe data packets
and protect me from data theft
but keep an account so i never wander off 
cos left to my own device
i can get locked out 


so they follow me where i go 
my clicks and chicks
my reels and wheels
while preserving my anonymity
they track me 
it is ill-humour 
to be a packet of 1s n 0s
floating anonymously through cyber trails
like a Shamus in a sleazy room
 on a dark seedy never-ending platform
like a hungry puppy
on a trail of cookies

know what i eat dress talk or walk
visit watch 
and encrypt my habits and routine
into numbers so algorithms can chart
me in parts 
and conjure me as a sum
