Threats Out of Focus

Poem

By K.A. SmithPublished 4 months ago Updated 4 months ago 1 min read

What sees in
a water is a
string.

A balloon hanging
from it,
along with it.

Dunes,
surface booms
are likely to stick.

Messaged,
are afternoons
winked.

Messaged, "F... U... C..."
and others,
from think,

a far away place.
Fluently,
sarcastically,

it says bite me.
