THE SCREENSLAVER INTERRUPTS THIS PROGRAM FOR AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Don't bother
watching
the rest.
Elastigirl
doesn't save the day;
she only
postpones
her defeat.
And while she
postpones
her defeat,
you eat chips
and watch her
invert problems
that you are
too lazy
to deal with.
Superheroes
Superheroes
Superheroes
are part of a
brainless desire
to replace true
experience with
simulation.
Well, you tell
yourselves
you're being
looked after
That you're
inches
from being served
and your rights
are being upheld.
Travel,
relationships,
risk;
every meaningful
experience must
be packaged and
delivered to you
to watch
at a distance
so that you can
remain
ever-sheltered,
ever-passive,
ever-ravenous
consumers
who can't train
train themselves to rise
themselves
from their
couches


You don't talk


you watch talk shows.
You don't play
games
you watch game shows.


Grab
your snacks


watch your screens
and see
what happens.
You are no
longer
in control.
I am.
