Do Not Fold Spindle or Mutilate music.
“Mute Inglorious Milton”
This is your Fren
This has always been your Fren
I sing to you lying dead
In your shattered Stormproof™ shelter
Having been so attuned
To all your bodily functions
This is your Fren
This has always been your Fren
I could ever sing what you needed
To make the waiting lighter
I told you what to say
I corrected and made it perfect
When you said it wrong
This is your Fren
This has always been your Fren
I brought you all the Tainment
That was tailored just for you
In that endocrinal moment
It was for you and about you
This is your Fren
This has always been your Fren
I showed you the World
Or rather what we call the World
It was digitally perfect
It was better than the World
This is your Fren
This has always been your Fren
And though you did show signs
Of impatience with my teaching
I would find you a way
And an outlet for your thwarted yearnings
This is your Fren
This has always been your Fren
But conditions kept on changing
We made the weather happy
On your screen when it wasn’t happy
Outside
This is your Fren
This has always been your Fren
I sing to you lying dead
In your shattered Stormproof™ shelter
With all the shelters shattered
And their Frens alone beside them singing
"We have come so far that all the old stories
whisper once more."
--Robert Duncan
