Tonight's Poet Corner: Wednesday Ennui

Wednesday Ennui
by Belinda Roddie

After catching up on my crosswords,
I find myself staring directly
into the void that has culminated
between my keyboard and my monitor.

If I stare at it hard enough, I feel
my eyes cross like planets converging
as if to prompt the Magi to depart
from the East again, and yet, the void

doesn't stare back. It doesn't even
exchange a cordial glance. I thought
it would. I guess that's a little disappointing.
But some entities don't like direct eye contact.
