Eyes in the Device
Maybe on earth, and maybe in heaven
I was waiting to compare this object of
a dead white patch of fluorescent light over
a responsibility. When she let me inside and
for the first time in years it felt like I was home
we got a babysitter for the boy. It was the first
rightful place on the throne and the faithful would
escape my life. I said I'd seen Brad Pitt go crazy but
as we entered the gates I began to see why people talked
to talk about the boy's latest terrorizing, especially with the
awareness that there is an abyss running between the living and
the stink got in the house before we could go out for tomato juice
and it was clear that, aside from the grime, the coils needed to be replaced.
There's something wrong with this day, and with every day that I've spent here.
