At our age the imagination
across the sorry facts
lifts us
to make dere
stand before yan.
Sure
and hackneyed
and totally trite—
at least, slave to demographics,
animated love is.
But we are older,
I to blog
and you to be dissected,
we have,
through cruel luck,
by our wills survived
as NEETs
the boxed prize
always
at our finger tips.
We will it so
and so it is
past all accident.
- With apologies to William Carlos Williams.
