A small, rectangular world.
One sheet of paper unfurled.
Nothing but cold, dark, colorless grayscale.
Everything so gloomy, so pale.
...
An echo, a sound-
traveling far and around.
Everyone has heard
this sound that’s so absurd.
...
We’re friends, so to each other we speak,
but lately I noticed that you reek
with desperate desire
that never, for me, will inspire.
...
As I walked one day,
I saw you looking my way.
Quickly you met my eyes and away you turned,
But for some reason, I still felt the strange fire that burned.
