The Comic Strip

If I were
A comic strip
There would be black clouds
Hovering
Rain falling on a sunlit patio
Threeway communication on
Two-way streets between
Single-minded & one dimensional
Cardboard cutouts

If I were
A comic strip
I would be the reader
The master teller
The doodler colouring
Their bleakness

Away
