We’re Ships

steamer_ship

relation-ships

are no regatta

such parades

require lotta

boats on bays

I reference

–not a–

mob

but

dates,

in this sonata…

a ship of 2

say—me & you

exchanging

duties

thru & thru

no captain

serf

just 1 big crew

no warring

wor-ship

equal sloops

–since ships

that don’t keep balance right

will bumper bergs that hide in night

and likely sink

twixt

black

&

white.

Face-booked

Oh, to log on

Sugar Mountain

with Big Brother, and the bullsh*t balloons

you’ll see plenty on Sugar Mountain

though you’re really just a Zombie in a room…

It’s so crowded in the stream

with all these effin’ memes

and the Doss PC you had

ain’t looking all that bad…

note_double

Oh, to log on

Sugar Mountain

with Big Brother, and his web tracking goons

you’ll read plenty on Sugar Mountain

breaking news which is by the large untrue

note_double

There’s a URL to click

where the news posts make you sick

You can read the words they wrote

like transcribed clearing throat

note_double

Oh, to log on

Sugar Mountain

with Big Brother, and the other networks

you’ll post plenty on Sugar Mountain

sharing links and likes in endless circle jerk

note_double

Now, you’re underdog at blog

because you’re not a cog

you shun blog post awards

they read and write so bored

note_double

Oh, to log on

Sugar Mountain

with Big Brother, and his international database

you’ll post plenty on Sugar Mountain

like the rest of the Pavlovian rat race.

Now, you need new cyber home

because you’re not a drone

ain’t it funny how delete

gives you Happy Feet…

The Penners

penners

There’s degrees of

songs & singers–

so much, I’ll make a list,

when we’re through

let’s both review

& see what I have missed.

There are those that need

~enhancement~

* auto-tune *

& helping hands,

there are those that

bleed song writers

back-up singers

& their band,

there are those that

feed on scandal

freaky clothes

to scream I’m glam,

& those with

stupid handles

geeky pose

& marriage plans

there are those who

make good money

putting Phony

next to Gram

and those that

belt out covers

of another

band with fans…

But sometimes

there are singers

–be it fella, be it dam–

who sing it acapella

And to them

I give this hand.

Since like a writer

~writing~

acapella is pure voice

no falderal

to song at all

but words!

(My tune of choice)
