Poetry and poësie

The self in the cyber age

I want to develop an app.
The question is
is it apt?
Apparently one has to master the code,
and most importantly,
identify a real need,
or perhaps create one.
Inspiration can be found
in the practice of meditation,
that is, sitting still
and staring at your abs.
If nothing emerges from this,
apart from a six-pack,
try making a list
of people’s wants –
don’t worry about Maslow,
his pyramid does not reflect
absolute truth;
rather think what you would like
for yourself,
that is to say,
your self:
it is apparent.
