lo tech

you smirked and whipped out the sun,
dangling from a chain like the celestial watchdog.

go ahead, try to hypnotize me with it.
try to blind me.
i will blink at the last possible moment.

your vision for us thus confounded,
and my own barely saved,
here we are--

two sundials telling time by shadows.

for G Man's Friday 55!

  1. Crapola. No reason for me to say, "Thanks, Shay, for taking one friggin' day off." Oh well.

    The last stanza and the last stand-alone line--a perfect topper to a moving piece.

  2. You've done more here with 55 words than many could do with 55 pages. Blinded by science, baffled by booshwah, nonetheless, no one stays hypnotized forever. Love the striking introductory image, Shay.
