April Challenge 11: The prompt for today is to describe something--only one thing--that is either very interesting to you or something you think is often overlooked and taken for granted.
The screen's a window, or is it an easel?
I see through to you there
on the other side of the country
the opposite edge of the world
and you see me – or do you? –
seeing my words.
The background, which can be
foreground any time I choose,
has many revolving images;
I am the one who chose them
and set them to revolve.
Trees and flowers and fantasies,
a blade of grass, a drop of water,
a certain dog with ears cocked,
a set of drums, a certain man.
Wake in the morning,
open the bed,
turn down the curtains,
switch on the cats,
feed the computer….

I especially like the final stanza in this one. I love the way it sounds so plausible... and then not.
