“…the launching of this ‘bottle’ into the cosmic ‘ocean’ says something very hopeful about life on this planet.” Carl Sagan
8-bit is a byte
try as you might
to turn on the light
off or on, zero or one
analogue is warm
giant size the norm
imperfection storm
to come in waves
corduroy carl wise
search the alien skies
voyager probe flies
a golden record spin
(16 2/3 rpm)

a strongman wishing he had an empire
sent the cossacks after pussy riot
for singing a protest song at his olympics
a song about a shirtless man on horseback
in a land where words will get you killed,
where journalism is a death sentence,
and plutocrats preach “russia for russians”
through ultra-nationalist movements
of an old mother filling the stomachs
of her proletarian children with vodka
