every pixel on a screen
runs a thousand calculations a second
to decide what it should be doing.
Minneapolis is a nine hour train ride
from almost close to here.
and it would cost so much to see you,
and it would mean so much to see you.
in simulations light is calculated rays
points with motion and direction
and we can do the math for the truth of it
but why would anyone
when a vague idea is enough?
and is it enough
to be fragments awash in binary radiation?
better to be rays
and intersections?
there’s this ledge we’ve both climbed down over
this is when we look each other in the eyes
and wonder at the jump.
