There is a daily
tracking of poets
each travel poem a
map
each weather poem a
triangulation
every line on walks
and thoughts is telling
There are revealing
identikits
there are
distinguishing features
of Annas and Sues
and Sarahs and Lizzs
of Andrews and
Myrons
of Kevins and Kits
there are coloured
pins
there are strings
connecting
Every grief shared
is a divulgence
every paper read a
confession
every idea sparking
object
on to which they
turn their light
is a sign of damning
intention
They are being
watched
and will find at the
end of this year of writing
they have been
caught by the algorithms
seized and detained
via the covert
identification of
poems
What a great summary of our daily stretches.
