The Shell of a Girl, a Heart and a Name

Emotions lost, found
scattered through an eclectic collection of media,
cohesive coherency lost as the glue dried and
weakened. Thoughts are ripped from their
foundations, plastered to walls
in a mish-mashed jumble of alphabet soup.

I know what you’re feeling:
lonely. You alliterate your S’s:
softly slipping poetry, condensed,
up your throat and over your tongue.
You siphon out unnecessary words and sell them.
Still your S’s linger.

I have cozened myself – foolishly –
into thinking I could fathom what goes on
behind those blue plastic eyes.
You are too human to be dissected.
For the moment, I will muddle through phrases
scattering them on mechanical neurons
to be plastered over unseeing eyes.
