One Size Fits All in New Electronic Order

Cell phone pictures of small things
orange mushrooms, purple flowers, mountains and majesties
digital pictures of the single moose
the dead one slaughtered for horns
meat rotted, fuzzy hide collapsed in snow
freeze dried trees snapped like wind vains
all photos the same size
neither dirt nor abstract electrons
speak the idiom of life's experience
shimmering in the language of time's photon-graph gun-slingers

Small pictures of large things too
pixels of cities and oyster beds
racing cars and train station sheds
uploading data costs more
for galaxies cast in red
yet somewhere in the cloud's future
the pictures might remain
attached to server circuits
droplets on window panes
unemotional lattice sorters
casting to bins
echoes of ideas
aliens would make nothing of
beam splitters fiber optic sheaves
ones with deeper colours and darker clouds

Giving way to rainbows
reminders of God
pouring paint colors
over glistening green leaves in bright white light
from the star (that requires a filter to become small) shining a forest's shadows beyond nothingness to somethingness
wonderful with blue sky and space

Clouds moving away to small things
captured with maximum storage allowed
whales, balloons and red copper mines, crispier cartoons, arithmetical signs
over-heating oceans with acidic in-flow
desertifying a North Pacific gulf
in small jpg angstroms
recovering structured seasonal cold
things like muddy tire ruts, saw-slashed clearcuts and newer highways from congress
efficiently reduced too
digital gps.
