Your Face in my Video-Card, (3)

In all of Heaven

do I hate 

how you've come

to occupy the space

within my technology. 

My beliefs sit shaky, yet I've found the loophole

on how to keep writing. You? 

You... are an ugly thing -- taking up most of my 2016

with insults hurtled at my imperfect mother --

and now you stand there, on the opposite side of me, you fiend! 

I don't think the world

needs anymore stepdads 

like you... who do...

nothing but play sides

between a suffering family.

One person will feel too burned, 

and you may have just drawn your last card

of the night. 

Oh, how I do hope you'll return

to play again! I hope you aren't the one 

who gets too "burned". No, never you! You're

such a nice, helpful guy, after all. Why...

would anyone think unkindly of those beady eyes? 

In my video-card, 

your face sits with an uninspired, wise tint. 

Does it hurt?
