Defenses

I screen phone calls

and e mails

 and sunshine with shades

I screen tea, too

with V, too

and friend requests made

I block porn shows

and cable

and what you say out

I let it all go

to voicemail

so I don’t have to shout

I wear ear phones

like all drones

When I’m on the go

And wisely

Bring visors

to hide from the show

My filters are

precious

collected like gems

Still my smokescreens

aren’t able

to make me feel Zen.
