“In the (near) future, every person will have a parallel digital identity.
Avatars, crypto wallets, digital goods will be the norm. Are you planning for this?”
— Reese Witherspoon
11 January, 2022
In the (near) future, every person
will wear socks on their head,
have breakfast at night
and stalk around in wheeled canoes.
The United States of America will
be known as “Fraggle Rock”.
Fridges full of wolf urine
will be the norm.
Are you planning for this?
In the (near) future, everyone will know
at least one poem by every teenager
working in a nearby bodega.
Lightbulbs will be made out of hair
Your walls will have spiders in them
and everyone will have a sex dream
about everyone else.
this will be normal.
Are you planning this?
In the (near future)
every bacterium will have a blog.
the trees will wear diapers.
Bird costumes will be required for international travel
Guitars will do whatever the fuck they want
is this normal are you planning this?
is this normal are you planning this are you
wow wanted to pick out a line, but then every line. wasn't planning, but now looking forward
ReplyDeleteit will be the norm
Deletenoting here that someone else in the poem-a-day family wrote a great poem years ago about the future and me and reese are following in his footsteps
ReplyDeleteLove this. Can't believe Reese is trying to encourage us to abandon our corporeal forms.
ReplyDeletebut it's fine, we'll all get digital forms
