all you can see is pale blue
The ground holds a lingering smell
of tin cans
and there is always a faint noise
Soft feet tapping on the ways between homes
and of quiet
The apartment complex sits
in the middle of many others
not unlike it, but not exact
Black and white
Squares like a chessboard
How long has it been?
The world around is an ocean
endless, deep
Devoid of anything
and everything
Nothing but
Black and white squares
like a chessboard.
A soft screen
dimly glowing in a cool, half-lit room
Separated
by an ocean
From all that matters
