Favorite Quote:
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that’s all.
—Oscar Wilde


Press here,

they said, to see

your future.

Nothing

happened except a handful of lights.

Blinking

on,

off

on,

off like fireflies.

I imagined

music bursting out, filling the silent

space with a different

type of art.

But maybe it means that tomorrow

still holds hope.


The author's comments:

I wrote this at a writing camp I attended at the local university where I live. We went to the art museum and I was inspired by a piece that was interactive. The title of the poem is the title of the painting.
