What’ll-it-be?
Exotic, panoramic,
expansive, expensive?
Silly, tricky, clever?
Eye bait to watch the tricks of—
an octopus, a cat, an owl?
As long as it’s somthing.
Colored candy falling into place
— for god’s sake
let one of these icons
take you somewhere.

Something is happening here
Mr and Mrs Jones.
Energy has been sparked
— hunger has been stimulated
and it needs to be fed.
What else?

Cast out a line
— post a picture
onto that vast world wide ocean.
A look-a’me bobber
bouncing on the surface
awaiting nibbles,
red bubbles coming up from below
notifications, engagements
— bites.
