                               Untitled Poem 
                                  [Deker] 

*Untitled* 
9/26/94 

I sometimes think  
of electron paths 
And particles too small to know 
Coursing endlessly through silicon substrates 
Messeners delivering their word 
At the speed of light 

I sometimes think 
Of data streams 
Carrying vast amounts of information 
Ceaselessly flowing through the vast networks 
That criscross our ever shrinking world 

I sometimes think  
Of numbers too large to comprehend 
And quantities no human can know 
Quantities, that fly 
From machine to machine 
Their own cryptic language 

I sometimes think 
Of what lies beyond 
This encoded world 
Of things that can spring forth 
From the patterns of ones and zeros 

And I sometimes dream 
Of how free it all can be 
Information 
passing from one mind to another 
Only seconds away 
Yet across the globe 

And I sometimes see 
How boundaries drop 
How race and gender 
And everything else that seperates 
One mind from another 
Loose meaning in this digital dream 

And once again I dream 
Of this freedom  
Of this place where  
You are judged only by what you say 
And not who you are 

And I sometimes i think I see 
The paradigm about to shift 
And open this world to everybody 
Who would come 

I invite all to come here 
The assholes 
The bigots 
The politically correct 
The leftist radicals 
All those who will come 

For this is a place of freedom 
Information makes it free 
Lack of boundaries makes it free 
Diversity makes it free 

But the most liberating thing of all 
Is the anonimity 
The facelessness 
The lack of color 
The lack of physical being 
The wealth of oddity 
The wealth of normality 

And most of all 
The wealth of freedom
