How can consciousness grapple with

the expansiveness of the digital universe

Hyper reality 

Every thread pulls on a million more 

And there is simply not enough time 

To 

Know 

Everything 

To 

see

Everything 

To Be

Affected by

Everything

A dizzying buffet of answers to the smallest curiosities 

An infinite conveyor belt of closing loops 

Hold on let me google it 

Ooh I saw something on YouTube about this 

I went down a Wikipedia rabbit hole last night.

The sheer beauty and terrifying horrors 

All extremes of the human soup 

Rising to the top 

That we can access 

At our finger tips

An automated reaction 

To the constant tension of unknowing 

To not being stimulated

We have become autoborgs 

Indiscriminately consuming data 

For better or for worse 

Until there are no more questions
