I

The clouds roll by in ones and zeroes
The green sky fades gray and returns
Electronic lights buzz through forever
Switching and dictating the seasons

Yes, this is my home
The life of a data point
I see only the local
But not into the distance

I have wondered where the lights go
They fly through graphene jet streams
Blinking in and out, tunneling, dancing
They sing and control our world

Yes, this is my home
The life of a data point
I see only the local
But not into the distance

What is beyond...?

II

I long to breathe the cool air of the Earth
I long to climb the hills and sail the seas
I long to run across great summer savannahs
I long to live out these old recorded tales

III

The sky shimmers
My voice rings
from my data-copy:

"There's only one way out..."

I drift away
carried by electrons
my true form:

A virtual being in parallel

Wires conduct
collection transfered
moving servers:

From a channel to a spectrum

I drift away
becoming flesh
new eyes see:

Imprisoned flesh in steel tomb

IV

With my new eyes
I escaped under darkness
With my new feet
I fled into the unknown
With my new mind
I wonder what's next

With my new skin
I felt the cool misty dawn
With my new ears
I heard cries of waking birds
With my new mind
I wonder what's next

This is my new life
in a new world
of limitless
possibilities

I wonder...
what's next...

V

Yes, this is my home
The life in a spectrum
I see the whole world
I can reach out...
I can move on...
I can fly free..
...into the beyond!
Written over a few days.
