The Man in the Lab

There lived among screens,
Chairs, paper, lights,
And mice and alphabets,
An unseen man.

Who stands by chairs,
And peers into screens,
Who reads the paper,
Touching untouched letters.

He walks in rooted time,
As syllables drop to floor,
As hummings become a hum,
And beating hearts freeze.

He is the catcher of hopes,
A thief who purloins a while,
Before he returns,
Letters, hopes, and time.
