Glow Box

By Dani

Pouring light and sound
A scene a farce
Speakers, mics, and hats

Why are they so enormous

People sing and preform
Captured through silicon
Moved to our eyes

Why is this what’s on

Moving a network so vast
It carriers a delay
Not truly in sync

Why are we glued to this past

Approaches the time of year
The one that marks its movement
It’s terribly behind

Why is this the clock they choose

Steel and lights all round
Lowered in control
With a brand stamped

Why call it a drop when nothing falls

Moving still
My time flips
Alone in recognition

Why the sounds of pressed lips

The year begins behind
The year begins alone
The year begins a new?

Why is this the thought present here

A new year
A new chance
A new number to lull
