umbilicus

umbilicus

unplug and your lifeline no longer feeds
make do in bewilderment fog and weeds
befuddled by offline you crave a clue
instead mere reality stirs the stew
lurch hither and yon for a missing link
it’s nonhypertextual so you think
card catalogs microfiche books and such
unraveled before and may–not so much
so sorry to tell you you’re out of touch
