thinking sideways

the mind-police

seem scripted into

thinking it symptomatic for individuals

divorced from hive-roles

to perceive

working people,

bureaucrats,

as machines, robots . . .

(unless your name happens to be

Richard Dawkins)

(cough)

(cough)

we’re moving into the age

where creeping technology

seems to be taking over,

where check-out girls

are being replaced by self-service

systems,

when unthinking, programmed

mechanical bureaucracies themselves

will be replaced by computers,

and when the men and women

of a few hundred years from now

look back,

divorced from hive-roles

and shoddy consumer based

cultural capitalism,

they will see

what the out-castes

always saw,

and that the mad, quote, unquote,

were like the men and women

of the pre-Galilean

middle-ages,

when only the mad, quote, unquote,

could think the earth

round
