The Great Divided Pair - Kyle Kulseth

Give us sleepy, tingling brains
Novacained by the inane
As data input overloads our heads.
Our verve is waxing weak
And we can barely speak.
Over the double-barreled roar
...of hawks and doves.
In fifteen minutes I'll almost find you
A thousand miles from here.
But I'll miss you--barely--
Drifting onward past.
It's mind-death building walls and distance.
And the heart's gag is distraction.
Minutes pass like decades,
While years sprint by like breaths
And space expansion is only speeding up.
Cross a continent in hours,
But you can't reach out to me
When the silent, screaming distance
Exceeds the blaring scope of
...narrow sight.
And I wish I could cross continents for you.
But minds cannot cross inches
When millimeters aren't domains of
...Flesh or Meaning.
