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.
