A million mute pieces
waddle on inner circuitry
airing myriad connections:
Of our reciprocity
now on the fritz.
It has me glassy-eyed.
Do we wean off? Is disaffectedness
in its purest form possible?
Playing with these thoughts
as a takeaway, I inattentively
order your favorite dish,
relish it without remorse.
