Lyrics

My monitor is frozen in late for something sun that cuts
through icy patterns; another day is begun recalling all my
losses while trying to ignore the theme that keeps repeating
from Call of Duty 4. I tap tap off the volume, and stare out
at the road where cars and snowplows scroll by—a broken line
of code from some embedded program that executes our town: the
river and the co-op, this house that’s falling down. So tape
over my window with dark green garbage bags. Enclose my name
in brackets—make HTML tags to start and end, forever, above
the wheezy breath of cooling fans and hard drives, beyond the
screens of death.
