The Blackout

UNSUPPORTED CODE You're one of my favorite moments, Always takes by me by surprise, With a flick of the switch, whatever which, You take all the light from my eyes. Pure silence always follows, Whenever our paths' do cross, For only a moment, maybe another, If only to ensure we're not lost. Suddenly we become human, Interacting through chit and chatter, Out come the board games, maybe a book, As if the world no longer matters. With a flash you always depart, Interrupting our humanity, We return to our own, probably the phone, Creeping back into insanity. (C) 2016 PJ Bayliss
