by Mark Fleury
The screen pounds
Like a heart. The blue dot
In the middle
Is a puddle
Soaking through my shoes
As I try to take flight away
From TV’s charming smile.
It happens. Sky’s clear
And from high up St. Paul
Looks smaller than me.
Now my shoes, once white,
are
Blue,
And the city fits on my
t-shirt.
My neighborhood is a cloud,
The way sound forms
In a breath,
Accepting, in time, the
death
Of all other names and
creations.
