GOOGLY YOU

did google you
noticed, to my surprise
you got googly eyes,
and you, in turn,
not too
enarmoured at
what you did goggle

our focal lengths extremely
dissonant to
mix tune
and image

and so those photons
zipping past us
long sighted, short-
sighted as well
as opposite ends of the spectrum doppler-
shift speaking we missing each other

firing blanks from the hip

need to take our cue
from hunter-gatherer- making-a-
killing
savants out there

who need neither scope
nor cross-hairs to
nail true significant other
with one single
(or double) flash
sniper centrefold shot

and you may
take it to the bank and
that’s
a social media fact
