Midnight Pub

The Sentinel

~eskimonk

We dance to the algorithm

as it learns all our moves;

the two step authentication,

swipe to electric slide.

~

The beat, hauntingly familiar,

sounds like your own heartbeat;

the cadence quickens as you move,

the music matching with your groove.

~

You know you’ve heard this song before,

but once more cannot hurt;

the DJ spins a tempting web,

please switch on your alerts.

~

The playlist is repeating now,

the songs all sound the same;

there are no exit signs in sight

and so, we must remain.
