Posting a Psychic Pause





Two hundred million

uploads per day

a disaster

the writer calls it

of meaningless clarity


We look then

we who badly need

artistic satisfaction

for the overlooked

the tentative gesture

the vague inference

of light and time


A confrontation

with our own

contingency.
