[Text of the poem is laid askew…]

imagine…
some dark dream world  {text=gray}
where a new technology {blinks yellow}
is being created
with opaque artificial consciousness   {blinks yellow}
with in comprehensible  motives    {blinks yellow}
with  double-edged unknowable potential   {blinks yellow}

imagine…
some dark dream world  {text=gray}
where the creators
of
a new technology
(“disruptive” they like to call it)   {blinks yellow}
have grave
concerns
their technology
could literally
KILL   {blinks red}
all of dark dream world’s humanity   {blinks red}
possibly
every – last – human – being  { blinks red}

imagine…
some dream world  {text=gray}
where a Profit First industry
controls
a disruptive 
possibly apocalyptic  {blinks yellow}
new technology
while living & dying by 
the philosophy
“move fast & {<-blinks yellow} break thin
-gs”  {<-blinks red}

imagine…
waking up
in some dream world  {text=gray}
