Coddling Poems - Poems about Coddling

Each lens now does nigh but the same.
Privacy’s all but dead
If not on a deathbed,
Love at Coldplay? Ne’er a lens blame.

But perhaps it's...

Ordered discord

...Smeared In a pattern.
This Rorschach abstraction.
Flowing like satin.
In cascading fashion.

Symmetry, mimicry.
Mirroring the mind.
Coddling, throttling.
Either or is fine.

You feel left alone with your own vices
Yet, you don’t think there is a problem
