In the Silence of the Internet
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
A silent response
Amidst busying mouths
Tapping fingers
And icons collecting messages
Music playing loud
Or soft
Tik Toks
Gathering information
Cookies
Dark web
Light web
The net
The internet
A silent response
Multiple phones
IPads
Laptops
Kindle books. Ebooks. Talking watches.
Ear pieces. Glasses.
Hackers.
Spyware
Socials.
Chat rooms.
A silent response
