Scrawl

Eyes fixated on the broken screen;

The cracks get on your nerves,

The pixels swallow you whole, mess up your thoughts;

Such is the wait,

Oh, you blue ticks.

Dear Swarnab,

Please permit me the honor of welcoming you to this site. i appreciate the brevity of this piece. i also like the way that it presents itself upon the screen. whatever you've done to alternate that light grey highlight within every other line almost lends an appearance to the piece that frames it toward some type of Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. the first line leans toward a grappling of powerlessness within the speaker, and the rest of the piece does a nice job of expanding on the aggravation of that powerlessness. my favorite image within this piece is "The pixels swallow you whole" Many times I've felt the technology i own is consuming me, rather than the other way around. You do a deeply original job of expressing that sentiment. Thank you for joining this site, and you left me hoping to read more from you soon.
