The End of the World Happened on the Internet

Our bodies are filled
[ with spaces ]
none of which will hold
[ us; everyday ]
some of these spaces
[ destruct into -89% ]
black matter, werewolves
[ cry until their bodies ]
contain 0% water, until their
[ bodies contain violet ]
tears and poison berries in
[ a cybernetic forest ]
all watched over by
[ machines ]
of programmed
[ harmony ]
