I am most committed to the real world when


the twitter page refuses to load, 

my thumb pulls at a virtual thread

and nothing arises but a thinking

spiral. 


when sunlight pours over

winter brick and I am suddenly

cold and yearning for a moment

outside.


when I abandon metropolitan grids 

and find myself ambling through 

familiar woodlands, the freckled deer

doeing. 


when the promise of magic is 

guaranteed, a snowflake, a kiss, 

a final droplet of sunset through an

alleyway.
