The Things
In the Internet of Things
What about the people?
Plugging the cold
Dollar signs on steeples
Things talk to each other
People ignore each other
I have a better relationship with my fridge
Than with my neighbor
In this false connectivity
That towers demand
More microwaves
Than waving of hands
Things talk to each other
People ignore each other
I have a better relationship with my toaster
Than with my neighbor
The foundational model
Is hack over health
And over history
But not over wealth
In these codes we created
Lies passive demise
Floppy relations
Nonexistent drives
Things talk to each other
People ignore each other
I have a better relationship with my car
Than with my neighbor
The foundational model
Is hack over health
And over history
But not over wealth
Things talk to each other
People ignore each other
I have a better relationship with my doorbell
Than with my neighbor
In our secret social rings
We nurture tech well
To help us meet 2D
Cartoons of ourselves
Things talk to each other
People ignore each other
I have a better relationship with my phone
Than with my neighbor
In our automation
In our indoor hives
In our empty existence
In our solo lives
In our imprisoned intentions
In our disconnections
In our increased distance
In our digital lust
In acts we all fake
In objects we trust
Things talk to each other
People ignore each other
I have a better relationship with everything
Than with my neighbor
Things talk to each other
People ignore each other
I have a better relationship with everything
Than with my neighbor
What about the people?
Plugging the cold
Dollar signs on steeples
Things talk to each other
People ignore each other
I have a better relationship with my fridge
Than with my neighbor
In this false connectivity
That towers demand
More microwaves
Than waving of hands
Things talk to each other
People ignore each other
I have a better relationship with my toaster
Than with my neighbor
The foundational model
Is hack over health
And over history
But not over wealth
In these codes we created
Lies passive demise
Floppy relations
Nonexistent drives
Things talk to each other
People ignore each other
I have a better relationship with my car
Than with my neighbor
The foundational model
Is hack over health
And over history
But not over wealth
Things talk to each other
People ignore each other
I have a better relationship with my doorbell
Than with my neighbor
In our secret social rings
We nurture tech well
To help us meet 2D
Cartoons of ourselves
Things talk to each other
People ignore each other
I have a better relationship with my phone
Than with my neighbor
In our automation
In our indoor hives
In our empty existence
In our solo lives
In our imprisoned intentions
In our disconnections
In our increased distance
In our digital lust
In acts we all fake
In objects we trust
Things talk to each other
People ignore each other
I have a better relationship with everything
Than with my neighbor
Things talk to each other
People ignore each other
I have a better relationship with everything
Than with my neighbor
