Instagrammar



She lives in photographs
Quite happily
On beaches
At parties
With her family
With attractive young men

If she has a job,
It's just smiling
Out at us from
The comfort
Of our own 
Phones

Sometimes 
I put my phone sideways
When I'm lying down
On my futon
I can zoom in on her
I can see the drink in her hand

And then I can 
Almost hear
The sound of
Distant parties in the night
Against the ocean of my 
Wall to wall carpeting

Non-Binaries

Non-Binaries never wrong nor right  neither black nor white  always poor framing  truth escapes while waiting    you I can’t deny I can’t explain “I” there’s another dimension  we’re always missing    easy solutions feel good  crushing doubts with boots  if nature only gave us straight lines  if god was on our side    it’s never green nor orange  look to the forests  subtleties you miss  haunt dreams in an embrace    not those ones and oh’s  didn’t write the code  swallowing contradictions  before they explode
