. . . fewer
interminable trips outdoors
where the
air has actual oxygen in it . . .
no startling
cackles from the avian inhabitants
of this chilly,
leafless, gray habitat . . .
a low expectation
of anything mysterious rising, dripping
from the dark,
still water thawed from winter ice . . .
no 'la-de-dah' ambient wind chimes twinkling enchantment
to generate meditative,
self-important inner thoughts . . .
no falling
dusk
rising moon
mid of night
dawn of day
just
halogenic
fluorescent
battery-powered
LED
available
24/7
mind-numbing
light
glaring from
the computer
screen’s
blank page
--
its cursor
blinking
maddeningly
patient
in blind |
|
|
|
expectation.
