Arms cuffed at the wrists
Legs fettered at the ankles
Neck embraced in a collar of iron.
Eyes? Yeah, they do rove!
Along the links of a chain that rattles
As fingers prowl & pace about

Who? Digital-lifed human.
Technology's Mannequin
Searching for what might be outside
Ayonder there somewhere ...
But staying put, doing the beat of familiar territory
Traversing vast distances by dint of a click here & there

Border crossing.
Rumoured to be okayed upon exchange ...
Shush!
Of unutterable passing words.
Those bespoke yet must-have
Pieces of memorised jargon
Fitted for each domain's protocol verification...
Unless forgotten!
in which case
must forcibly induce recollection
via a quick dash to the port of all calls.

Liberally littered with spam phenomena!

Byte sized Devil's Spawn of literature
Leering, Filter breaching, barrier busting,
Promissory notes & begging letters!

I like this great job.

So well written and so true! It's amazing how you can traslate it poetically! Such a gift.
