Language knows nobody
is attentive, everybody
has their own blog
and dictionary.
Once the tool of science –
to measure worlds, to heal
wounds, and list foods to avoid
before sleep,
Now, cells in our palms are
mirrors of worlds for our eyes only;
reflexion makes reflection
the relic
Of solitude, of silent rooms
once noisy with authored
worlds, and our sole
imaginations.
