Screens

So I haven't posted anything for a while, mostly because nothing has been good enough to post. The post immediately below ("Repeating Lyrics") isn't even that good. I think my grasp of good writing is slipping.

At any rate, here's a new poem I wrote recently. I like it, but don't know that it's awesome, or even moderately good.


Screens


dilated pupils, yours, mine
settled equidistant on fixed points
between your lips and my indifference
to an insecure ideology
a lilac laden molecular makeup
a forced line on things about which

neither of us knows we're contrived
carefully constructed verbiage
dancing, sparkling
distributing evenly between us

pixilated grays disguised
as silver-coated stains
