<\/span>Transported floated from the polished marble stair<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Through the throat of the transparent cyber wire spider web she<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Uploads stasis into the incorporeal\u00a0<\/span>endless\u00a0<\/span>digital tangle<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Welcoming into her bloodstream a ghostly infection\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Puppeteering its way along the central nervous system<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Leeching its way into the brain where it unzips the pouch\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>The<\/span>\u00a0dopamine drools down the warm tissue<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Down each seam splitting the beating\u00a0<\/span>pulsating\u00a0<\/span>brain\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Down the sinewy cords<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Down the silky neural pathway cobweb strands\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Struck in some sort<\/span>\u00a0of satisfaction<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Her body remains locked as her mind<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Shifts travels with the pixels of the LED<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Eyelids stretched wide and deaf to her\u00a0<\/span>own\u00a0<\/span>tapping fingertips\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>She descends toward the next stair shackled to the screen\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Blind to the world her heel hits the air above the next stair and\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Bicycles in loops as her body bag of potatoes stumbles clumsily<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span>Until the ball-pit absent drywall corner greets her skull with a squish pop<\/span>
