Poetry of Issue 9: 2D Existence

2D Existence

A cartoon in two dimensions

can seem more life like

than the world you live in,

with its supposed four.

How bright the colors

and painted smiles.

Even if the motion is jumpy

and the plot a little thin.

I could live in those cells,

digitally made or hand painted,

lay on the jagged grass

and watch big eyed people go by

while angular birds carve

a place in the sky.

Joseph Farley
