MDMA

I know what you are thinking

and although it seems certain

you are wrong.

In the old days MDMA

was that little pill  that people took

that brought with it a little trip

into a land of love.

now as I get older and wiser 

I realise the real meaning of the acronym

and its true that i use it everyday.

in fact the startling truth is we all do

From the moment we get up till the time we go to sleep

its not always fun and frankly like most recreational users

I wonder if its just a phenomenal waste of time?

and like all addicts the habit has crept up on me.

It starts with the screen

im sure the frequency is synced with our brain

and even when there's nothing on

we find it fascinating

and then there is all the information

in little files and icons

that needs to be copied, backed up

moved or deleted.

what if somebody broke in and stole the harddrive

decades of photos, writing and life lost

and what then...

memory alone?

if god (existed) had wanted to make us walk

he would have given us legs

and if he wanted us to remember

why have we created external cluttered brains?

I started the day

resyncing songs on the iphone

organising the desktop

and taking out the trash.

digitally speaking Ive done a lot 

but perhaps its all just a wank

digitally speaking

managing digital media allthefuckingtime.
