stepping carefully through total darkness
debris, obstructions, junk, boxes packed with whoknowswhat
banging my knees
catching my toes against an unyielding corner, wrenching them out to a wrong angle
I stumble and fall right onto my face
keep getting tangled up in wires
walking for miles and miles
‘til a screen lights up
fills my sight
scrolling, searching, self-diagnosing
“find a steep hill, ascend until you heal or you can no longer move”
the perils of AI search results online
