Wuthering Heights For A Dating World


dating apps mostly are fucking apps
the veneer is screen glass thin
swipe the slabbed product-placement left or right
vet the meet market abattoir for the tendered night
drink the cool aid for skin-on-skin
no pressure
no pressure
no screen within to wallow....

so different from linked-in..
present your sensualist cv
splurge your body/ flex your arms
curate any injected charms
flesh-vie fecund fluoridated flesh barns
pout your lips as subtle as a bow
pump your muscles
high-five yourself then bid low
shivering timbers for the in and out
crisis act that it is not what it is all about..

the spurned/ the blackmailers/ in the shadows assorted surveillance warriors
the hr recruitment moral police/ the majesty spooks/ the honey-trap sorcerers
subterranean concision wordsmiths hot-key and freeze-frame quick sand
your lust pump-prime-downloaded - every slaking ferret stand
perhaps to be exchanged in the shadowlands
such are dark-web marketing materials
data-driven algorithmic mystics at prayer
their cup poureth over the a.i.
the trolls and the stalkers and the black-hats and the indestructable cloud servers
geared up for the sonic booms of the time-boomerang
thus we are never alone alone
privacy agreements sign seal and deliver our very flesh our very bones bones..

dating apps mostly are fucking apps
the voluptuary duck-and-cover
barbara cartland porn-hub
heathcliff on zero-hours
for i am dating right now read I am fucking right now
i won’t tell you your name and moreover i won’t tell me mine
deal
then bring the dead fish balloons
be quick – kinda pressed here for quality-time..

tell me about yourself
i like dating
oh i like that too
wow we have so much in common already how uncanny
goodbye hello farewell you kindly
now get lost so nice to meet you..you..you
and next..next..next..
and how do you do..you do..you do..
i need you now..now..now so cannot cancel..cancel..cancel..
and i have options..
and i have options..
and i have options..
