Microdosing Sugar

a poem by Joshua Brown

I woke to a world

Where bitcoin nodes

Are built in every home

 

And miners in glory

Chug along every

Small nuclear reator.

 

And in that world

I saw a king

Rising above the men

 

(Built not born

(By men (not women)))

Holding printed guns

 

Each leaf of the Word

The Holy Bible

Floated heavenward

 

Caressed by fire

Set by children

Burning the country

 

Each microdose

Another ration less

But lighter ruck.

 

A lightless world

Fed me white

Oozing white bacteria.

 

The whir of fans

Screeched louder

Hell's deeper plunge

 

Mile after mile

Falling through

The secret microchip world

 

The world laughed

At my confusion

And I laughed back

 

Till the lightning struck

And I laughed:

At another plunging soul

 

I saw his face

For a moment

The only G EDWARD GRIFFIN

 

How did he fall?

I knew not

But laughed and derided

 

There was no world

It was simulated

I was sin

 

An abberative daemon

With riding daemons

In a code, the scripted Word.

 

And bitcoin broke

Not the kings,

But the gods.

 

For the world broke

And the black

Screen of death

 

But I saw a flash

As of a boy

Crouching, chained

 

To a table

And being struck

Not by lightning

 

But a gun

(Or was it a sword?)

Over and over and over and over and over...

 

In the world

In a moment

For all eternity.
