Fission

Rare Gathering of the Lenzi Clan
(Minus One Granddaughter)
At Our Home, Stonewood – Circa 2008

families strain to maintain
their extended identity
flung to far corners of
work-a-day exigence
cutting themselves on the
sharpness of distances
hanging by virtual tendons
ethereal tissues technology
grows across gaps ever
widened displacement
of once vital organs beset
by asynchrony left to evolve
into new independent
corporeal entities
