As I delve deep
I go goggle eyed google-ing
I am sucked into a black hole of information
where celestial bodies’ gravitational force becomes infinite
technological event horizon seems nearer
because of the accelerating progress of technology
and its exponential growth
I stare stupefied at the blinking computer screen
trying to wrap my head around the scientific mumbo-jumbo
pausing for the scientific terms to permeate my unscientific brain
when suddenly it goes blank automatically
to turn on to show a funeral in progress
I furiously reprimand self for imagining things
and get up for a cup of espresso to clear my fogged mind
when the espresso machine spews scalding liquid on my hand
I know it is too much of a coincidence!
when I hear a rumble,
with an uncanny prescience I know the washing machine has turned rogue
and it is certainly not my febrile fertile imagination
shaking uncontrollably, I rush to the bathroom
grabbing the landline on my way
I don’t trust my smartphone right now
with shaking fingers I dial for help
“We have been taken over by Singularity!”
