I absolutely love this poem–1st word to last. =D> =D>

The cathode ray tube paints a picture in
reds, blues & greens
Tsunamis, fires, Empires
(Pixels)
Tears, somewhere someone’s crying
rain

Lovely.

Tears, somewhere someone’s crying
rain
Phosphors show an image
(Pixels)
Moving through a dream the
wholesale images
visually slur
illegible
High Resolution
enables this miracle procreation
Technology
(Do the Pixels see the
parts they play in the mosaic?)

The dream’s alight
This world is burning
in 720P.

If this were being read to me aloud at a ubiquitous Bohemian coffeehouse, I would be a beatnik cat snapping my fingers --snap-snap snappity-snap snap-- along to the cadance. I am not worthy. You have written one of those magical poems we all strive to write where it opens strong and closes strong and its middle doesn’t drag along. It’s a great metaphor for the world we live in today. Andy Warhol wsa almost right, but it’s 15-seconds, not minutes, of fame nowadays.

Thanks, all. I was a bit nervous about even posting this one. It’s a bit more “obvious” and literal compared to my usual thoughts.
