Screens

If I could take my eyes so they
Might not get so dried out
If I could keep my hands so they
Might not feel so dried out and
When I would feel, I'd know that it was real

I’d like to stay with natural things
Organic as my skin that peels
And not so often enter in
Another space that I can never
Touch, backlit and bright
Fills in our mind, to turn it off and to make sure
I keep it real with myself and
Never let obsessions with connections to an outside source
Be crippling my abilities to breathe and take a step out from my usual places

Just to make sure I keep it real with my own and
Never let a tendency to tread in water with no target
Cripple my abilities to deal with things that need be dealt with
Be with people who need be hung with
No one's between what I should and
What I'd like to be active doing

(Why am I seeing screens?)

I feel (?)
I'm lost in so many
Screens that I am seeing
Screens appear behind my eyes

Why do I feel (frail whenever)
I'm lost in so many
Screens that I am seeing
Screens appear behind my eyes

Why am I seeing screens?
Why am I before screens?
