There's something new about the way
        he moves his fingers across the blackness
           anxiety rippling
                   hovering
over the deep
     formless void awaiting terrifying
                   sublimation into...
     they talked about it on TV and in school
                 about how nobody cares
                 about how you're on your own
                       to lose friends once they
          get to know you
                 know your fears
                 know your likes
                 understand your dislikes
     could abandon you for being like that
     could report you for saying that
           deprive you of your freedom
          
           There's something old about the way
                   I believe everything I read
                   tracing fingers across the white
     anxiety growing
             into an adult
                          nothing hovering
     amid the deep formless void
              rigid conformity to the unknown
                    shape we're all supposed to know.
