This or This?

By R James Sennett Jr

---

Is it better like this?
Or this?
Any pressure?
Darting spots?
How about the periphery?
The edges are where the action is.
Everyone knows that.
But we can only handle 
so much 
at any one time.
Like eating too much
candy.
Good in the moment.
Questing for something
but just outside
our field of vision.
It’s there,
it’s there!
Gone, again.
Now
sitting
flipping,
flipping through:
greasy
occlusion.
