Excuse me.
Excuse me!
EXCUSE ME!!!
Yes you. I have a question to ask.
Why does it take several times for you to respond to me?
You can't answer that
I know why...
It's because your head is buried into that device they call a smartphone
 
It seems that your compulsive behavior with this machine is creating a barrier amongst others
Sure you may have loads of friends online, but you can't truly see, feel or hear them
Your "friends" are not really your "friends"
Is it that necessary to refresh your post...

I am reminded...
of all the days I longed to run away
how funny is that
grown ass adult having fantasies of escape
find a little place on the side of a mountain
just me {& my cats}...
no cars or fights
or gunshots across the street
just the whispering rumors of wind
& gossipy titters of birds in the trees

nobody to notice if I remain mute
when the only person around is me
alternatively...
I could mouth off whenever I want
...who's going to protest
lately I've had this crazy idea...

in memory forever
some accusations stain
misunderstood...badly translated
it's hard to explain

why can't you just accept it
let yourself be loved

it's complicated
& painfully simple
but I don't know where to start

once upon a time...
{not so very long ago}
...as the story goes

I loved like a warrior
ardent & unrelenting
...but in full armor

poured my love into their open hands
giving them everything I am
beautifully...
