the deer

i walk in to virtual walmart
i am greeted by the cutest robot greeter
she says welcome to virtual walmart
i put a virtual shirt on, smell it
it feels just like a shirt
i taste the virtual blueberry jam
it tastes just like blueberry jam
i am watching virtual television as
i am waiting in line at the check out
then my IP address is verified and
everything materializes into its predetermined destination and
virtual shirt and virtual blueberry jam become tangible,
to escape from this digital world out into the middle of the woods
