Napowrimo 2020 Day 11 - Lies the television told me
11 Apr 2020 poetry
Potential pervades-
the message of every saturated
Saturday morning American import,
a call to action to try and fix
a world held together by outlines
and acetate cells, giving children
the promise of powers, illusions
of movement, simplified solutions.
Napowrimo day 10- Prospects
10 Apr 2020 poetry
Pious parsons pass pyres,
proclaim pretty prayers,
preach possessed portents.
Napowrimo 2020 day 9 - Hollow Passengers
09 Apr 2020 poetry
The destination displays are corrupted
again. Carriages and corridors converge
on the horizon, a lifetime’s walk away.
Napowrimo 2020 Day 8 - Stagecraft
08 Apr 2020 poetry
What is going on? I ask the
walls every sixteen minutes.
The plasterboard doesn’t reply
but without checking headlines
Napowrimo 2020 day 7- No Trespassers Allowed
07 Apr 2020 poetry
As one, blades of grass sharpen,
becoming fields of swaying razors.
Napowrimo 2020 day 6- Symmetry
06 Apr 2020 poetry
Marigolds bloom geometrically,
thriving under this square sun.
Dodecagon pupils dilate.
Napowrimo 2020 day 5 - Simulated
05 Apr 2020 poetry
Seemingly infinite, the night sky
is the most consistent falsehood.
The moon is nothing more than
a hologram, the stars just dead
pixels in the screen constructed
millennia ago to keep us placid.
Reality is narrated to us daily.
Your thoughts are not your own.
You are code blind, lost within
a procedurally generated lie.
Look to the glitches. The single
side of the moon, the vanishing
stars, memories of new places.
Napowrimo 2020 Day 4- Erosion
04 Apr 2020 poetry
On this day, a room darkened by a flash,
unfamiliar faces are made abstract by
developing camera technology. One
is probably mine, now a stranger.
