Memory Card

We were always just
a series of dots, dull
or sharp, less or
more, depending on
how much we wanted
to blow
them up.

We will lose
the race across
black glass to
faces. Please delete
the smiles before our
sluggish retinas leave
us to bleed.

    It’s hard to know who, if any, would be winners in the “race across black glass”. Thanks for sharing.
