Small World Theory
|
||||
2023-01-23

|
||||
|
||||
The little graphs on my phone
|
||||
show that web traffic has slowed,
|
||||
that whoever's been attacking
|
||||
my far-away digital home
|
||||
hasn't yet chosen to leave me alone.
|
||||
|
||||
Have you ever heard
|
||||
of the Small World
|
||||
Theory?
|
||||
Let me explain it quick.
|
||||
It's rather easy.
|
||||
|
||||
The premise is that,
|
||||
even though there are just shy
|
||||
of eight billion people on this planet wide,
|
||||
on both sides
|
||||
of the hardware
|
||||
software
|
||||
OSI layer
|
||||
divide,
|
||||
the network is smaller than such a high
|
||||
number leads
|
||||
one to believe.
|
||||
|
||||
So either
|
||||
these past months I've been popular
|
||||
even without the referers
|
||||
to back the numbers
|
||||
up
|
||||
(the people have to come from *somewhere*)
|
||||
or I've been too passionate in my love
|
||||
and I caught the hateful eye
|
||||
of someone who would rather I shrivel up and die.
|
||||
|
||||
But then why choose me?
|
||||
Is it because I look easy
|
||||
to take down
|
||||
even though my whole life I've been finding workarounds?
|
||||
There's nothing that I'm selling,
|
||||
so financial harm can't be it.
|
||||
Is it just
|
||||
for evil fun?
|
||||
Just to stir up shit?
|
||||
|
||||
It's certainly been disruptive.
|
||||
|
||||
The Internet makes it look like
|
||||
there's millions who want my hide,
|
||||
but if I were to say my name
|
||||
to any real-world person I come across,
|
||||
they'd shrug their shoulders,
|
||||
say, "Who's that?" and then move on.
|
||||
I don't have any real fame,
|
||||
nor have I ever yearned
|
||||
for the fifteen minutes of public shaming be my turn.
|
||||
I'm not equipped to handle an existence
|
||||
where everything is under constant surveillance.
|
||||
|
||||
I think a steady babbling stream
|
||||
is more my speed.
|
||||
Don't you agree,
|
||||
Jett?
|
||||
I'd like to sit at the shores
|
||||
of one of the rivers of Sablade
|
||||
with you, tucked away
|
||||
where nobody can hurt me anymore.
|
||||
Like a router only on for an hour a day.
|
||||
Get your outside business done
|
||||
and then we'll again shut the gates.
