the rabbit hole to China

in this future we don’t have time machines. the skies are grey and our shoes don’t tie themselves.

in this future we can go to work to save for dying somewhere nicer. daydreams come and go like groceries. we can pay the bills and watch our taxes rain in bombs on hospitals (and other hiding spots) from the comfort of our phones. you can swipe away to something else. post a photo of yourself. scroll the rabbit hole to China wishing you were someone else.

in this future you can order dinner from the couch and flatten buildings with a drone. make your dreams come true: fly to mars or build a house on the grave of someone else’s home. abduct peaceful cries for justice armed with medicine and food. stream the end of days in real time. sleep or watch the children burn.
