Deep Sea Internet Cables


 Shadows moving in the depths...
Large, ponderous, heavy...
The internet is like the Marianas Trench
At the bottom of the sea...
No sunlight can penetrate it,
But some of its denizens
Create their own light
To hang mysteriously 
Over sharp, translucent teeth...
Click-bait...
Hoping to lure you in
To some narcissistic demise...
Stalking your feed 
From a friend's login...
Accidentally commenting...
Oh so shocked
If you react...
Jelly-bodied nematodes
Slithering beneath
Bone littered sand...
These also have teeth
You would think
Only existed in nightmares...
But they are real...
And they are hungry...
And their blood never freezes
From the pressure or the cold...
They are drawn to your warmth
As you are drawn to the
Pale blue lights
Twinkling in the darkness...
