and so we burrow deeper into the screen.
between years our proximity may change
and we may give it up for days or weeks
but we always return, nostalgic for old
times, spending whole evenings on msn
and exchanging the things our mouths
would never morph and bend to expel.

Definitely Odd
expensive HBO shows illegally streamed
into freezing rooms decorated from the heart
well what if all the transmitters
were decommissioned what if your life
was completely knocked off its blocks
tell me sons & daughters of the knowable finale
how does it feel to be anchorless pioneers
how would you like to plug in the crystal ball
and guess at the future we are going to have
