don’t forget
it wasn’t always this way
you used to actually dial a phone
before that
there wasn’t such a thing
as a dial
you didn’t phone
back then
the masses didn’t know
such a device
would even come to be
expeditions would head out
for years at a time
imagine the waiting
done by loved ones way back home
compared to present day concerns
as you wonder why
on your fancy mobile toy
your text brought no reply

Darkness

darkness
it swoops in
laterally
blown from another place
or another time
ready
eager even
to swallow what light remains
but it is helpless
against sleep
through no fault of its own
as slumber
washes away
toxins
accumulated
in the brain
