'A man who lives, not by what he loves, but by what he hates, is a sick man.' Archibald MacLeish.
In a room, alone
Blue screen flickers
Across a frown
A muttered imprecation
A spell of derision
Sent across the ether
Sealed with a tic
The shadows lengthen outside
While the darkness inside
Multiplies
Congeals on the screen
And grows black wings.
'Send.'
