Post insertion, for the first few days, I was aware of some discomfort at link-up,

As if a spider had nested in the centre of my brain, a slight bibliographic oscillation

Between left and right halves. But now I feel nothing. The nano-mechanism

Controlling my capability no longer troubles me.  Thus, I am moved at once from

Human to Cyborg, neither creator nor created, but somewhere in between, the

Connect, a binary application, accessing a chain of written images that hum –

Inside my head.

With one smooth touch of bloodless android fingers, a hurricane

Of words downloaded directly into my synaptic-core, faster than the speed of

thought; I barely register their passage, barely acknowledge the unfurling

Story-line, the name of both hero and heroine an indifference to me, their dialogue

A blur of voices I have no need to hear.  I waste no time on choice or consumption;

My eyes no longer move down those invisible pages – the App takes care of that,

Giving me immediate cerebral ingestion, learning without struggle; a truly easy read.

When my Synth* Remotes me, it calls me Wire Woman, says I have forgotten how

To feel, that I’ve erased the pleasure of words unfolding in the slow-moving caravan

Of sentences and paragraphs, each one vibrant with colour, the taste and scent and

Breath of life all pinned like once-bright butterflies upon the wood-smelling page.

This lack does not disturb me.  Why would it?  I have access to everything I need.
