Contained
enough to say
stop
but the flow
is continuous
the flood
that happens
one
drop
at
a
time
so you don't even
notice
that
you
are
sinking
until you've already
drowned
Necessity
I ate it because I was starving
and choked with every swallow
that mechanized humanity
A little bit better; more
of the creation poised to retrieve
the pieces of ourselves
we've nearly forgotten
Processing- power
for the billions of requests
Subtle pleas for acceptance
And technology; carnivore
of the very creativity who made it
Gorging on the insecurities
But I only eat it because
I have to, to survive

BIO: Chloe Ryan is 34 but clinging to "chick status".
She has 20 poems in a poetry book "Dark Nights", has
her own book, "Leaving Yesterday", published by Crazy
Horse Publishing, and was recently published in The
Dream People and Nirvana Flats. She's rumored to being
doing something at the 2003 Pop Culture Association's
Annual Conference, but then again, there are probably
many rumors about her...she only admits to the good
ones. She claims "life is so full of possibilities and
the thrill of the unknown is so great".
