This should be a word. Those apps that startle, surprise, make us smile. Do something we can't. Even though we can create wonder by stirring soup, writing a poem, walking down the street, talking to a friend. Or even taking a bath with goo-gobs of bubbles.

Last night I travelled f away
ReplyDeletethere were no voices, so no one could talk
There were no tears so everyone
thought they were happy--the sound of laughter

children with the usual love of them,
wrapped in a star. Why did I come here, and
why were you here too?
New weather, some snow, a feather
on the ground. Without envy
I am somehow free to feel
there is something I must be missing--
a change of heart? I will hear voice
echoing through the house
like a wind in search of paradise.
By the way, what is that solemn park
doing in the middle of this port city?
What kind of red shoe would someone
leave out in the open?
