I\u2019ve seen the best minds of my generation destroyed by Everquest.
\nSearching, with glare strained red myopic eyes,
\nflying aloft fiber optic spines,
\nliberated from the corporeal cells of your world
\nto become infinite, anonymous, living spirit!
\nYet, in effect, motionless.
\nLocked in stasis,
\nfrozen in front of screens
\nor behind the wheel.
\nDriven to distraction by playlists
\non the way to jobs that promise nothing but the next paycheck.
\nAnd they give nothing in return,
\nsave their bodies and their time,
\nor lives,
\neither way, it doesn\u2019t matter, I want to take you in my arms,
\nsqueeze out the pain,
\nwash away the stink of dirty blood,
\nand teach you how to love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
