Here I am again
Naked and shivering
Seated where I write unimpeded
Looking at where the word
and I have been for the last couple of years
The internet ether
Curious place for a man who instinctively
measures physical distance (it's a survivor thing)
Electric world got no boundries that touch
People push and pull each other unmarked
The word and I- we move through all this
We try to stay loose
Minimize drag
We both know that soon enough the plug
is popped
Then it is once again chicken scratchin's on paper
Or
perhaps further back
and only the orator's tongue to
wag the tale
Zoiks- my stuff stinks like crap this morning
Need to press the Esc key
The one that makes flush happen
Now to shower and go clean pools
Yes, yes- it's honest work but I do it anyhow
