Vampire Devices


Device access is a welfare need
We have become dependent
On the internet and its seeds
A cosmology of connected technology

These hypergames we play
With the tech and energy firms
That have made us their slaves

The vocabulary for mental perception is expanding. It is satisfying to see the  key is holding out as science works to categorize this new frontier: Aphantasia (Vision/Eye) "The inability to form mental images of real or imaginary people, places, or things." Alexithymia (Emotion/Heart) "Alexithymia is when a person has difficulty experiencing, identifying, and expressing emotions." Anauralia (Sound/Ear) "Anauralia is the phenomenon of an absence of auditory sensory imagery - not hearing anything in one's inner ear" We can now add; Anendophasia (Speech/Voicebox) "Recent research introduces 'anendophasia' as a term for the absence of inner speech, revealing that not everyone experiences internal dialogue. The study compared adults with low and hig
