#301










a whir of tape
and clicks
and muffled hollywood voices

a rectangle of light
a see of faceless people
frame by frame by frame

the whole town knows his name
and they knew who his mother was
but that's it
no one speaks insults
worse
no one speaks

the town is alive
with meetings and gossip and events
technology everywhere
a 4-year old on an iPhone


and his life slides past others
frame by frame by frame
