The Great Replication Blues

After the system replicated everything, people thought we'd all go totally virtual, right away. Some did. I knew a few. But most of us still need the real world. It's redundant, but it's real. I keep telling myself, it's not worth the effort. More and more, I feel pale and blinking, there; ironically, out of touch; but I can't give it up completely. I curse myself for being so dependent on the blue sky, like a dog gone blind.
