Look,
They are alive!
In this liquid you call
—the electronic ether—
These swimming creatures
Make their instantaneous way
Through my spine
Onto the shores of clicking pebbles
Into the vastness
You insist on defying

They leap into the square pond
Somewhere on your desk
Parading their undeniable presence
Before your denying eyes

Look!
How much longer
Will you stare at these blinking stars
How many more flickering volcanoes
Until you realize that
This virtuality
is no less than reality

Come as they may
On the wings of watts, wires or waves
Their origin cannot be betrayed:
Of pure verve
              And human nerve.
