"IS IT YOU I U? (Internet Unicorn)" Trumpet! Trumpet! A
tale in Tweets by Nicole Stenger
2. Old myth, you brushed the early WWW, and we sensed you were there
3.
You had reappeared. You were free, and you were many
4. You wore "Essence of Freedom" a perfume more enchanting
than Chanel
5.
Internet Unicorn your eyes are all the eyes of the world, and their
sparkle
6. Your shape is all the shapes of the world, including the whimsical
icicle
7. Your horn is immaterial and the symbol of audacity
8. The hunters spotted you on their screen shots circa 2005
9. Then they turned this flapping Internet fabric inside out, and
it became a hunting Net.
10. Is it you I U? (Internet Unicorn) between 2 American soldiers?
11. Yes, one for the day, one for the night
12. Internet Unicorn, where are you?
13. I am everywhere
14. One by one all the Internet Unicorns will be caught in their lairs
15. Unaware
16. The Internet has 2 sides. One is a web of light, one is a web
of darkness
17. I U, describe the Internet of darkness
18. It enslaves the world empowered by the Internet of light
19. Like the shadow stalks the sunlight
20. It was born where freedom came early, and when the web of light
finally completes its cycle, its wing of ash may cover everything
21. The hunters in the web of darkness do not hunt for fur
22. They stalk their preys to capture their innocence
23. Fascinated, they watch its facets endlessly
24. The facets of innocence?
25, Yes, once the Internet Unicorns are caught in their lairs, the
hunters capture their breathing and their sleep on multiple screens
26. The Unicorns keep their skin, but are stripped of everything,
except their soul and dreams, until 1 day, these get captured in their
turn
27. The facets of I U innocence work like a lark mirror, the hunters
cannot detach themselves from the rapacious watch of their game
28. The hunt has evolved from its ancient abrupt conclusion, to the
fascination prying eyes have for their prey
29.
The shadow grows and consumes everything in its path: the trapped
Unicorns, the ravenous hunters, countless resources
30. So far nothing has been able to stop it, hunters gather like the
hordes of the past, millions of them
31. The shadow is invisible, when it brushes past you, you might think
you heard a crackle, a creaking sound
32. I U why did this happen?
33. There was a crack in the world
34. I U how did this happen?
35. It took many years and happened in 3 phases
36. First the hunters followed the Unicorns' tracks on the Internet
37. Then they guided an ingenious spyglass into the Unicorns' habitat
38. Last, they stormed this habitat, dragging with them the Net of
darkness
49. The Internet Unicorns got caught in their very lair
40. I U describe your despair
41. The Unicorns languish in isolation and are too weak to scream.
They'll soon die like empty shells
42. The hunters are drunk with power and lust
43.
The web of darkness is the return of the hordes, their lawlessness
and wanton destruction
44. As each stitch of light is turned into a dark hook, civilization
gets undone
45. I U you still have your soul and dreams, describe your hope
46. I hope the web of darkness is like a solar eclipse, and the light
will soon reappear
47. I hope the Huns will be stopped again by the courage of saints
48. Or their delirium will exhaust itself like an obscene laughter
49. I hope the corrupt kingdoms that yielded to them to share in the
trophies and were fooled, will ban hunting on their land
50.
I hope that even if they're unaware they're caught in it, and just
struggling without understanding
51. Or if they know the web of darkness is on them, but are too weak
to scream, all the innocent Internet Unicorns will be rescued
52.
I hope there will be an awakening
53. That the web of light suddenly has an epiphany
54. And is able for one instant to imagine its enemy
55. A web of secret, deceit, fabrication and farce
56. A web that isolates, incarcerates and abuses
57.
I hope that the web of light understands it is under siege
58. That it sees the Internet Unicorns as its ecology, and preserving
them as a matter of survival
59. I hope the web of light perceives its scattered pieces of knowledge
are all it needs, if it only DARES to understand
60. And in a coup, of what we call History, it spots all the trapped
Internet Unicorns in the world, and liberates them all at once
61. I hope the tale is told
(INTERNET UNICORN)
