Oh, what happens to one's disguises
When love leaves you with surprises
Left to hide just how you feel
Denying what was real
Beginning again
A sad sack friend
Becoming
Someone
New

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Loved the “sad sack friend” line and the rest of the poem of course! Well done, Kelli!
The ending felt very hopeful. Loved your poem
One way of looking on the bright side of things.
A sad-sack crow wearing boots. From there a metamorphosis arises. You really are good at this breakup clap-back word play. Nicely done.
I love this and it goes well with the image.
