The Rescuers

Your soul is mission control
And Houston
We have a problem
Literally
 
Problem is
The embodied self is an avatar of your soul
But now that you have an online avatar
The temptation is to believe
That the self it represents
Is who you really are
As if by making a self-portrait
Of your self-portrait
You have completed your mission
Leaving nothing to be done
When really, you’re just lost
In (cyber)space
 
But mission control
Is on a rescue mission of its own–
We were never very good at saving souls
But our souls will show us how it’s done
By saving our bodies
