A blue flash as the virus takes control.
Lopez narrows in to find the perfect image, the perfect pose.
Hyperlinks proliferate and explode.
Windows come and go:
New sites, new images, new possibilities…
The same dead feeling.
Lost in a myriad world of sex magic,
Lopez travels alone, unknown, helpless
As the universe shrinks to a bunch of pixels.
Representations of representations --
The world of flesh recreated in binary code.

My name is Danny Lopez and I am a sex addict,
A porn junkie.
Porn is my special sickness.
I have been an addict for nearly three years.
I am addicted to porn in many forms:
DVDs, magazines, videos,
And especially --
The internet
(The most viral medium in the world).
Porn was made on the day
God created woman:
It was his gift to man,
And man, needing to kill
The pain of God’s creation,
Thought that it was good.
Only the fallen angels foresaw
The dirty dopamine war
In man’s heavenly brain,
The citadel of a dis-eased neocortex.
Porn, the ultimate poly-drug.
It is, after all,
“Good business sense.
“It generates its own need.”
The consumer, with his shrunken lobes,
Becomes the consumed.

Everywhere there was
Shaved pussy, hairy pussy, MILF,
Cum shots, facials, anal, teen, granny,
Big tits, small tits, ebony, blowjob, handjob, mature,
Ethnic, retro, vintage, CWNM, men in pain, glory-holes,
Co-ed parties, mutual masturbation, sex machines, cum wrestling, cream pies,
Bukkake, lesbian, gay, hippy, upskirt, panties, big dicks dripping cum, she-males…
The porn virus was spreading…
It was a fucking mess.
Soon the towns and suburbs, hamlets and villages, were filled
With writhing bodies, voyeurs, exhibitionists,
Swingers, wankers, masochist, sadists, and camera crews.
Men became zombies; women screaming feminists.

The porn virus was under his skin,
In his nose and ears, beneath
His fingernails, dripping out of his mouth.
Lopez loped to the clinic.
Twenty minutes later he withdrew with a dildo
In one hand and lube in the other.
“The porn virus accepts him and he accepts the porn virus.”
“Good results, with no negative feedback.”
“The authorities are more than satisfied.”
The virus was the ghost
In his machine
And it was staying there.
