Double Down – Adolescents

This is me,
There’s no need to be alarmed.
It’s no test,
I’m counting eggs on the dinosaur farm.

I’m from a different place, another time.
Concrete absolutes, not pantomime.
A relic of the past, lost in exile.
A life burned in wax, not digital

Filed away,
The Patriot Act has the last say
Every breath,
Every site has been cached
I’m watching you
You’re watching me
I watch you,
You watch me.

Ante up,
We’re going double down.
Liberty: I’m watching you,
You’re watching me.
Liberty: Around the clock surveillance
Sets you free.
Liberty: I’m watching you,
You’re watching me.
