Synapse

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Nov 11, 2020

Information
leap.
Jumping
to and fro.
Information,
bandied about.
Moving around.
From
one to
another.
Chemical
reaction
electrical flow.
Information
jumping from
one
to the
next.
From mind
to mind,
from mind
to machine,
from machine
to machine
then
back again.
Does the
information
flow.
Leaping, circling
imprinting 
the globe.
Transistors
in the machine
part
of the
whole.
Part
of the
circuitry
deep
in the
soul.
Denser and
denser 
packed.
Tighter and
tighter 
control.
Locking in
place.
Free will
an illusion.
Part of the
machine......
