Somewhere In Cyberspace

Can you feel the
network breathing?

Wires frosted with intelligence,
it flicks an indolent eye
now and then through these
cathode-ray connections
like an invisible laser dancing
over a silicon cityscape of
electrically inter-engaged minds.

When it huffs a sigh
a squillion packets squeal,
sent zinging the wrong way
in a silver server shudder.

When it finally speaks
the very cables will tremble.
Light will sear the screens
and the data run amok.
