Visionary works edged in a haze
I can all too readily relate to.
I think of the near collisions
of your life with mine
the labyrinthine possibilities
never explored, the fact that
put us in any two squares of a chessboard
and we would recognise each other
instantly.
But the world outside is so big and bad
it is selfish to obsess on the very small
so let the Technicolor wide-screen of dreams
collapse in on itself to a mobile phone
that one day I can carelessly lose.
