The slumped city a dome of silence--
souls remanded to limbo, quartered in nuclear barracks
The only rustle--
a hubbub of switches, shepherding photons along twisted paths
where multitudes emulate realities
their domiciles ripped open to others
A place for all,
where all have a voice--
where even a thousand chips lack the filters
to discriminate our declarations, so--
Mute that cat!
