A mimicked gesture
is the purview of children
however inaccurate
intent is celebrated
I too hurled my whole heart at
wrong pantomime
to great reviews
I search for the memory
of this warm un•failing
never to be felt again.

Reverence for all things past
is a reflex unexamined
sometimes useful, like scars
often useless, like stored documents
at its most unremarkable, a daily haunting
of futures that have stalled
reaching through the screen
like light from long gone stars.
