A Rough Gerrymander, By: Benjamin Nardolilli

August 19, 2024 by Benjamin Nardolilli

A Rough Gerrymander, By: Benjamin Nardolilli

Coughing in the box of my room,
Penance for cleaning,
And punishment for waiting so long to sweep

And yet despite isolation in the chamber
I manage to conjure up
Another one of my buried visions

The shining specifications focused
On the endless search
For new connections without damages

But to remain surrounded by close corners
Is to invite nothingness
And nothingness begins new pain

Because it is only an false void,
Just a mix of darkness
And isolation imitating a cessation of bonds
