The Next Flood

The Next Flood

One day the cloud will burst
and millions will drown
in the zeroes and ones
of the world's memories.

As flood waters swell
they'll hold phones to the sky-
call out for connection
to the God they believe in-

only to be answered
with dark screens, and silence.

Love this. Missed it the first time around.
A well timed solar flare, a war on infrastructure analogous to the war on oil going on now…
Apt title
