Craig Kurtz- A Poem

RETRIEVAL INUTILE

Everything was

kept on tape

in those days.

Coincidence

vaticination

pointillism

valentines.

There's a uniform

system to the

delineation.

Arthropod

architecture

matrimony

psychotropic.

Where do

dreams go

when awake?

Left-justified

motion-detection

scale-proportional

program not responding.

Those days in tape

were kept erased.

Everything was.
