The Pen is Merely an On Switch


Adam’s pen writ

upon our hearts

fatal words


quieted by mental mutterings


whirring a variety of gizmos and whatch-a-ma-gigs’

zooming so fast past our unseen eyes

that depth perception and forward motion

become an illusion—

accomplishment and motivation: oil is our appetite.

our feeding hands keep churning mouths running

so our simple ears are too satisfied to hear…


our hearts’ whimper.
