Digital Hymns

Digital hymns,

Hummed along to, from our mouths and modems.

Digitized sleep,

Dreaming in front of electronic screens,

Digitally and cohesively recording entities and discourses,

Conflicting in size and purpose.

We speak in tabs, clicks, and faces;
Monuments of the momentous and banal
Built from the ones and zeros of binary.

We already count aloud the digital sheep
To keep ourselves awake
Through all of the hours
In hopes that the small light
That we all keep close at hand
Will lighten the burden
Of human hope and doubt.
