Why Didn't You Tell Me I'm Topless?!
Carol was
interviewing some folks
at a celebrity party just
before some guy came over and placed both hands on
her bare chest and she saw Jeff filming
that whole scene with no words
being said.

Fragile
It seems so fragile,
this intangible thing we share.
Or maybe it’s just that I feel
brittle
each time I encounter it.
I’m compelled to turn away
put it on a high shelf
where my clumsy hands can’t reach
to observe fondly
remotely
on days when I feel strong.
But on the other days…
I want to caress all its surfaces
perceive its smooth comfort
despite the risk of breakage and sharp corners.
Such a delicate thing,
this ethereal connection –
a vulnerable sanctuary.

A New Tune for Tomorrow
In the land where the desert meets destiny’s skies,
Whispers rise from the sands where the future lies,
A vision of minds and machines entwined,
Humanity dances on the edge of the digital mind.
Where brain-computer interfaces map the thoughts untold,
Circuits woven into flesh, futures bold.
The merging of man with the pulse of machines,
In the crucible of the desert, where the new world preens.
Across the earth, under the stars we’ve known,
Potential soars on winds that have grown,
Yet, in this march toward the dawn's bright light,...

Black Face
Let me give you redemption.
Everytime I ride you into a tree.
You're my favorite comedian,
And my noble steed.
Those bullet holes,
Are there to remind me,
Everytime I needed you,
After doing illegal things.
The government,
is coming after me.
Let's rob a train,
like traditional theives.
You have a black face,
But no Martin Luther King!,
You're just a dumb horse,
That does illegal things.
I hope I don't get banned.
I hope my horse understands.
When I whistle a command,

it’s not the end of the world
when the internet crashed for good
it wasn’t me
I don’t drive and anyway I was probably in
bed

inner dialogue
sometimes
when i sit beneath that autumnal sun
when it’s photons strike my skin with their speed
so cosmologically significant and so entropic yet calculated
i think about
the fact that we exist is a chance never before seen
like tetratial growth every step we take,
a factorial of every action we think of making
that the trees, unmoving are as complex a thing as anything ever could be
the elementary particles that make it all up are ineffable in nature to us
in scale, in number
and that yet it is beautiful that we try ...

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...

Fake Reality (Posted 1/21/2017)
tisk, tisk, tisk…
maybe I’m just crazy
wasting my time in a cyber world
caring for imaginary frenemies
giving yet not given in a fAkE rEaLiTy!
people who don’t know me
feel the need to judge me
stand so tall against me
behind a computer screen
where has all the sanity gone?
turning away from an army of avatars
anger, pain, sadness, greed
are real even in a fake reality
commoner to a prophet
seeking to save the world
insisting that everyone is wrong
but where are your credentials? ...

Thora Flowers
unadulterated pain with its butterflywings mutated
they know how to morph but not fly
in sync with smiles that don't form from the soul
plastic, no paper will heal our planet
Who will heal the heart?
we used to know one another without talking
now we're afraid to look in each other's lying eyes
it's okay, smile nod, of course it is
penetrate the lie and sit and fib for a while
I don't know about you, but I'm dying inside
things are changing at light speed
but are they? I had a baby alive at five

Carry On dot.com Sitcom
Skinstorm of scripts
written upon Wi-Fi wrists,
ever the moon is vowel shaped
Wide to receive
from another lonely hand,
as roadkill waiting to be shovelled
earthed into the ground
Who will chalk around cursors
at love-crime cyber scene?
Something is squeezing your skull
Surfing Transmitted Disease,
tinder sticks smoulder desire
before rain retreats to the sky
& reality nothing more than a drunk emoji
Post mortem modem
threads bone though keyboards,
no ghosts in the machine
only...

There are worse things,
than caring about what you think.
Like feeling like dying everyday,
Or going months without sleep.
Listen to my phone.
Can you hear me moan?
I know I'm not alone.
Staring blankly in my home.
I hope that when I smile,
It makes you happy for a while.
Because I never get to see you,
I only get to tease you.
I hope that all your friends,
Understand why I hate them.
Always trying to blend in,
While I constantly miss him.
