No Longer Confined to Our Heads
The private you within
secret place of fantasies
hidden from public view
all things considered
unspeakable passions
titillate the fancy
The semi-private you
at home- family man,
hausfrau, controller of
some things considered
beyond the castle moat
We are not what we eat
The public you- member
of a thundering herd
out and about, good Joe
church deacon, a beacon
of the community
We are not what we seem
Enter the internet
confused distinctions
the private you mingles
with the semi-private
becomes semi-public
We are like what we seem
Fantasies become public
become real, duality of
man's nature on exhibit
like Smithsonian dinosaurs
reconstructed from bones
We are what we are
No longer can we commit
fantasy adultery
be kinky with the wife
sing praises in church
keeping each separate
We are visible now
We search, research, blog,
Google, Yahoo, chat, forum,
pornicate, Face Book, My Space
let it all hang out confusing
imagination reality
Big brother knows us now
