can you see your own face
in the television?
can you make out an expression
in the reflection?
is there some power there
holding you up
too high
to walk?

there is a string in my eyes,
and every
cruhed up bit or byte
or fraction of a life
is pulling.

there is a sting in my eyes.

with blurred vision
a screen become solid.
can I fold it into a kite to ride?
can I stand on it
and dance?

no substitutes for sure Earth
thru these curtained visions,
is there a future left to chance?
