The attention and the thinker.

The attention and the thinker.

A Poem by dsouzaman

We’ve taken our thoughts
and strewn them up on walls
to burn permanently in people’s minds.

We’ve taken our eyes
and mounted them above
to watch permanently our fragile lives.

The attention and the thinker
solidified, weaponized,
not formless
but with nothing inside.

A stilted conversation that our soul denies.
