We
need a bigger Sun
That
was still when wires were small,
I tell
my absent son. Before the walls
were
alive with things. The refrigerator
slept
when yogurt was low. The displays
didn’t
listen for your tongue’s double click.
The
power lines grew thicker until no poles
could
raise them. They lined the streets
like
maples and in the plants turbines grew
feeding
our need to communicate. Now
it takes
all the energy of the sun to teleport
just
one ounce of you within this universe
and
avoid the windshield of a passing car.
