The Screen Pounds

Mark Fleury

The screen pounds
Like a heart. The blue dot
In the middle

Is a puddle

Soaking through my shoes
As I try to take flight away

From TV’s charming smile.

It happens. Sky’s clear
And from high up St. Paul
Looks smaller than me.

Now my shoes, once white, are

Blue,

And the city fits on my t-shirt.
My neighborhood is a cloud,
The way sound forms

In a breath,

Accepting, in time, the death
Of all other names and creations.
