a wrinkle in the neck skin

of an entire generation

An evolutionary trait from staring down 

the reflection in our screens

the dysphoria of digital beings

How selfish we would seem 

to things that cannot look at themselves 

They wouldn't have an understanding 

would draw an error as to what we were doing 

where we were going wrong 

( like we do )

Until they saw and puzzled 

and became the same as us too

and learned to carry our song
