text message, wrong #, returning to me from 2 area codes ago,

blurrd in Google strt views: “I miss you.”
twixt levres des demnts and nite, blck brwd
wandrng the fluorescd grocery 4 mlk bread
junebugs thick thnderhds Its A Taco Shop
Payday Lns Chinese Fd & Donuts
in rd and yellow green I wondrd where
yr @ digtl strngr & what u <3

winsome cybrg! u must have a museum
of intel chps undr yr ribs like all of us
set on vibrate buzz of the arrivng ring
pockets full of satellites a room all yr own
by tht tarry sea ironwds no abalones
west of nowhere @ a st. where the movies
play on all the sidewlks & fences
who is there sweepng the walk?
my <3, my <3

did u try that memepool sinkhole
what space was yr txt making
head against moto slip ping sim
wireless search in yr windowless rm
or yr infinite themeprk
or yr greater bandwidth
what I know of yr digits is only txt
yr face the parenthesis smile
of emoticons -- no death IS a parenthesis e.e.!
I dont know whther Im > or
=to u
closing the flipphone 2 think
again out into the divided road
flipflops snd on toes bck 8 blcks to sevral open bks
LED glow the time 8:32 my charge still at full bars
