Glued
Sarah Brower 1995 (New Jersey)
Oh!
what magnificent strokes of yellow
subtle pinks and orange lowlights
dipping down behind lustrous greenery
Wasn’t that amazing?!
Majesty of the birds living so free
how they can fly in multitudes
never stopping once!
Wait I almost forgot
nothing exists
in your thousand dollar universe
what is a sunset,
compared to shiny metal
how silly of me ignoring such importance
From now on
I shall leave your neck
to its paralyzed state
forgive me for bothering your scrolling
mindless scrolling
God forbid I live in reality
