Poem: Screen Time

 

Screen Time

 

nothing eerie

orchestrated the day

when such luminosity

did not exist.

 

lead and ink

scraped thoughts into position,

heavy

with marrow and blood.

 

we fixate now

on our new stylus,

as it smears our gaze

with a lurid lacquer,

 

and watch ourselves

without knowing

as we chase will-o’-wisps

toward dawn.

 

harnessed

by the ghost fabric

of such false life,

without insight or recognition,

 

we feed all that we can

into a pale future,

heartbeats on tap

for the motherboard.
