The Death of Density
Clickity, click, click
On the simple myth
Clickbait, clickbait
Why wait?
It’s a click or no?
A yes or a know?
Is that so?
What’s the difference really?
Spell check, spell check
Tell me that.
What to
Clickity, click, click?
We don’t want density
But simplicity.
I can click a life.
I just might
Download a woman here,
A man there
A click for a Clit
Or a click for Dick?
What’s the difference really?
One’s inside out, tucked in
Nicely done.
The other hanging out
While keeping it all in
Not a person really but a myth
An artifact that we

Clickity, click, click
Except a smell,
A taste,
A touch,
Or a feel,
Or a feeling.
No, I want to be free
From destiny
Or is it density?
Spell check, spell check,
Which to clickity, click, click?
Malware, was that you?
What’s the difference really?
