running
because he can
over bridge
across stage-----up ramp
immense structure like a giant space spider
dwarfs singer
he stops running and sings in
broken phrases his voice
a clarion call
video screens switch to show picture of woman in Burma
I sit on computer chair and
stare at smudged screen
am I there among the roses feeding on their every move and blip
or am I a webcam inside myself staring at my smudged reflection
on the computer screen?
a tear fills the rim of my eye singing “One love”
where are we running?
in circles?
in or out?
are we virtually there yet?
