Staring Contest
Jan 31, 2020 · 1 min read
I dared the day
to throw some colour through
the window
Taken off your oxygen machine
I’ve begun
to breathe differently/
The spread of the cards
has everyone reaching for their dictionaries
: spoken reasons
for ditching partners now
somewhat rude
If it was only
a matter of understanding this\ that
word
that conceptual bracketing
of the present suspension but…
It would be found later
that the staring has brought about
something
new
