Spying

Ben Backus

Little rule of

Thumb

Flailing and failing

Magnetic Depolarization

Because she

Was right

About

Us.

In my chest

Lies silent protest

Through glinting green

Eyes that

Seared their way onto

My consciousnesses like

An old computer

Screen. Strength

Surges through

My jeans, my skin

As I stare through

Glass, Through

You, Through

Those pants

And with my

Few moments of

God given power

I feel things

Aren’t as complicated

As I thought them

To Be.
