Sweet Cloud Emoji

Clouds they weep or shine for us,
Keepers of our secret world the clouds,
they float like magic carpets over silver moons,
they buttonhole that keyboard smiley with the quirky strand,
salt and pepper fare of avid texter.
A simple message underpins their life on Mars manual.
“You, the owner of this L.E.D gadget can sign on and off
at random,
with whatever gif and clip that drifts ashore,
for that faceless contact faraway you always seem so close to.“
Across the screen I saw a real life cloud!
