fine focus

I remember Catcher in the Rye
being better
And Walkabout being more
remarkable
and Northern Exposure
more funny and brilliant
what
changed?
It must have been me
It wasn't Chris at KBHR
or the two kids in the Outback
or Holden Caulfield
They're still the same
perhaps it's the internet
that's made my mind weak
and shortened my attention span
even further
Maybe it's the light from my tiny little
black hole
attempting to escape this gravity
and nothing
changed
I just can't see
beyond the horizon
