I
“Camera Flash”
Seen from a distance
I am summed up
at a glance
written off
or indelibly
written into minds.
A memory
in a computer bank
I become
spilled out sameness
spilled out sameness
spilled out sameness.

“SNAP CRACKLE POP”
Sue broke up with John today
and he gunned downed
some people at his office
strangers at a fast food chain
and on a train.
Then came psychoanalytical hysteria
in the multi-media, a cyclonic frenzy
on the information highway.
He was quiet and polite.
He was the perfect neighbour.
He was………..? But,
I remember once his
behaviour was odd.
Was he a Jekyll and Hyde?
