now cars are also tvs also backseat drivers and scolds also spacecraft with a mission control

and that’s just some of the good news

most of them start with a push of the button and a foot on the brake and some of them even have self-folding side mirrors like the shields of the batmobile

some of them do without the internal combustion engine which is inherently inefficient and evil, instead generating horsepower far more silently and correct with an electric motor

carworld is no longer in need of paper maps

there are cupholders and no windwings

but i still prefer to walk

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
