Gilded Poem by Patti Masterman

Gilded electronic age, embraced electron by electron
Our blue bloodstream of vivifying interference;
Taletale beating hearts from every venue
Filling up the airwaves, crowding out matter from outer space.

We replace the universe particle by particle
With our coded and distinct signatures
While our science grows daily, like a spreading tumor
To touch the dimmed edge of our infinity.

A ghostly sphere of punctuated radio waves
The only billboard, for our once ingenuity.
Deus exuviae ex vir in minimus locus.

(God hides from man in the smallest places)
