Tapped Emotion

I use the screen
to make an image. To
construct a reality.

It's not real. You can't
touch it. It feels like the flat
surface of a representation.

But then, so might I. As I move
my voice like so many others
I've heard before. As I place
my form in the room,

dancing a bit in my mind. Should
I make the dancing real?
What should I enact? I take

this string of words and make
a puppet of myself, seeing where
the narratology leads.
