Double Down - Adolescents

This is me,

There’s no need to be alarmed.

It’s no test,

I’m counting eggs on the dinosaur farm.

I’m from a different place, another time.

Concrete absolutes, not pantomime.

A relic of the past, lost in exile.

A life burned in wax, not digital

Filed away,

The Patriot Act has the last say

Every breath,

Every site has been cached

I’m watching you

You’re watching me

I watch you,

You watch me.

Ante up,

We’re going double down.

Liberty: I’m watching you,

You’re watching me.

Liberty: Around the clock surveillance

Sets you free.

Liberty: I’m watching you,

You’re watching me.
