“My fascination with letting images repeat and repeat – or in film’s case ‘run on’ – manifests my belief that we spend much of our lives seeing without observing.” Andy Warhol
Hoping To See To see, that is indeed a thing, to really see what is at heart, when all we usually do is say we see while hoping that by the time we do see we can claim the moment as if we have always seen when we know perfectly well we haven't seen anything at all because we are looking in the wrong way and looking in all the wrong places, seeing something but yet nothing of any substance that is at heart.

Sound bites like snacks, just nibbles of noise, it is a words made strange.

Ooh, I like “nibbles of noise.” I could see sounds bites as Cheese Puffs, mostly air with fake orange cheese to make a mess everywhere.

What a wonderful poem! I think you have perfectly captured our ways of endless run-on chatter without saying much, “Talking flowers” we called in in educational professional development. 😉

The drive to seek externally distracts us from what we know with our heart. It creates an endless venture.
