Faerie Baring

A Modern Day Faerie

posts mantras.

(so good-so good-so good)

always in 3’s and

discovered in ransom notes, she

texts

and emails them, too,

streaming lines pact with

simple Magi

–symbolic imagery

and imaginary symbolism

tra-la-la-la-la

(is it, though?)

unable to hear

until you sing, and only then

when playing musical shares

–telepathy, genetic tinnitus, and

noisy color

running interference, also.

this generation Now Faerie has exactly

twice as much energy as you do

la-la-la-la-la-la-la-

(bra’)

absorbing yours

like a sponge the instant iContact is made.

an autonomic throwback predating fight or flight and

Hazardous in House of Mirrors

since reflected eyes enable bounce back

and trips through Trompe l’oeil

(sync wholes, too)

require dimensions of dynamic

a Faerie is ill-equipped to lend out.

A Modern Day Faerie has crystal vision

tra-la-la—you knew that already.

similar to Google Glass minus headwear,

water ware without reed,

and try-focal in all emotional planes,

she brightens and enlightens

though the range this affords

is beyond the visible spectrum

–and some may posit below–

but a Modern Day Faerie doesn’t see it that way

tra-la-la-la-la

dwelling in sepia landscape

of nuanced taupe that where

a Faerie comes from?

Is precious or.

brilliant bronze,

conspicuous copper and

glowiest gold,

with just a little

>tarnished tin<

(for trim)

tossed in,

repair for Oz stragglers known to

drop over—

–now and again.
