it’s the day after and there’s whooping & hollering the oculus is operational kid’s head buried in witless game oblivious of who, what, where there’s an attachment to his inner mind no one else can see i see poetry in a tree, a frothing cup, in a knight-shining chessboard - black and white i see i see i long the sea even if i trip into the oculus with pirouetting waves, captive to a pirate ship, i shall not wear the scent of salt-air, feel the brisk slap of the windy-cold, be tossed to and fro, be entertained it’s the day after there’s whooping & hollering mindful i aim for fun & games ones that i can put my hands to 12/26/2021
