Poem #7: Insignificant

Immobile to the power of one small
Square of cheap plastic and
Pixel words:

You are what is wrong with me
And what I love about everything.

Move like silver, quick and jumping
Rhythmic like dance and time
Tick tick

Let’s put it all together
And see how far we get.

Broken on a curb, spilling
Guts of green chipped panels,
Golden circuits dying,
Face cracked.

And you shed one tear
Rolling from your cheek
Like a tidal wave
For all of the lines
That you have lost.

Becoming insignificant
In the daylight.
