These poems were published by Pamenar Press on 4th July 2022. Since they use GIFs they have been recreated from their original Word document files here. You can view the publication page here: www.pamenarpress.com/post/jp-seabright along with supporting audio-visual pieces for GOTCHA, i can’t hear myself think and a third poem Thing-Material-Action-Property. Thank you to Pamenar Press for supporting my work – JP.

GOTCHA

I accept all settings
I accept them all

every cookie-widget-buffering-
packet-switch

every captcha-gotcha-
glitch-and-pixelated face

every track and trace
my data exposed like
wriggling worms dug from dirt
my identity catalogued /
categorised / sold to the highest bidder
my contact details hacked
/ rehashed / pharmed
/ phished / pissed out onto
the dark web


and yet
I am not a robot
I am not a robot
I am not a robot

i can’t hear myself think


turn

down

the

tele-
vision
please
