Invisibility Is Mindless Fun

They say
You can run but you can’t hide
Which is why the One Ring
With its power of invisibility
Is so seductive
And which is also why
We forged the internet
Where you can hide but you can’t forerun
 
To forerun is to forecast or foreshadow; anticipate
And the brain, of course, is pattern-seeking
i.e. the brain foreruns
 
In other words
Hiding on the internet
Is giving yourself a lobotomy
