blurry beginning

a blurry image stretches out before you of a black and white canine smiling a silly grin, your eyes don't have time to blink before you process the pixels, criticize the crystals, exorcise your exit, stating your opinion, I like it! or I don't like it... but your momma told you don't say nothing if you don't got nothing good to say, so you keep your mouth shut up, not even two seconds have passed before you've surfed across three continents, the blurry image brushed out of your mind like a blown winter coat, but some day some time some way down the road, you'll be walking in the real world and you'll see a creature trotting on the silver-matted ground and even though you may not realize it, you'll realize it, that's it, it before you, the thing you saw, so long ago, the stretchy face with the silly grin, the dog, the picture, the digital spin, the upload, the art, the modern piece of shit farce, the grin, A+, the best digital joke you never laughed at.
