forthwith the following lines.
Back in the day

SnapshotsSnapshots
by Michael R. Burch
Here I scrawl extravagant rainbows.
And there you go, skipping your way to school.
And here we are, drifting apart
like untethered balloons.
Here I am, creating "art,"
chanting in shadows,

ignoring your face.

Themselves...
When habitually roused from early
Mornings
Newly awakened sounds.
Electrical milk floats whir...

As synthesised music.

Punctilious PunsI was a happy, fluent linguist, fruitfully helping revive endangered languages,
