not to be dark

not to be dark
but in being watched
at any time reviewed
the potential of being scanned
online

like the same
as if they got a ladder
and light and shone it in
your night time window
when you were
sleeping

and you can't
do anything
to stop them

or could
brick up your window
and not breathe

such is the security
of the state
shone through
the prism of personality
of
privacy

creating these
floating rainbows
and algorithms
on the ceiling
in society
in the law
on our minds
