A parcel was delivered to the wrong address.
As the house number was barely legible,
it made the rounds in the cul de sac
until it was determined to be addressed to
the new neighbor, who at this point was
very famous for his package, sight unseen…

Does Saint Pete
tweet,
ya think?
or does he book the face…
‘Scheduling date
for meting fate
somewhere out in space?
Is he Linked in
are you Linked up
as colleague or connection?
If not now
then Holy cow
do it ere inspection…
It’s obvious
–who faces Book
though few have Him as friend,
God on High
is final guy
to potshot at your end…

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…
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
There’s a URL to click
where the news posts make you sick
You can read the words they wrote
like transcribed clearing throat
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
Now, you’re underdog at blog
because you’re not a cog
you shun blog post awards
they read and write so bored
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…
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…
Artful Letter
May 7, 2014 18 Comments
Traveling one day,
from point B to A
a backward relay
–passing letters…
Glancing at C
Lighting up D
those artful graphemes
just got better…
I sent out an E!
No F words, but G!
Just look at these things
they’re so squiggly!
H, I, J, K…
and JK is great!
What L indicates
–when you’re giggly…
M, N, O, P,
was operative, see
was best M O D
for an answer,
to question Q posed
since Q‘s one of those
letters P goes with
for standard…
The rest of my trip
went by so quick
before I knew Y
I was sleeping–
‘catching some Z‘s…
before a repeat…
As right after A
there’s B keeping!

shenanigans
🙂 a giggle fest 🙂
best in show
&
word’s that’s best
kicK→ing shins
of all the rest
in syl•la•bles
that promise test
of
/ limits /
~humor~
–holding breath–
a *buzzered* hand
in fidget jest
a chuck on chin ↑
that points to chest ↓
a jiggling
wriggling
term for mess–
that’s planned or spurred
–and lessens stress.

Yore Kidding Me

Greeting your neighbor
used to involve
a wave of the hand
and pat of their dog
a quick game of Frisbee
or shared trip to shop
a compliment paid
for a gardening job.
But these days
the neighbors
are harder to know,
>ears plugged for sound<
<head wired to nodes>
the head nod–
*a spasm*
the grin
a gum show 😀
eyes glued to digits
smart phone aglow
and sure, these progressions
have google to boast,
but I prefer contact
without a web host,
as tangible presence
beats giggle/bite ghost
the hearts interacting
not keypunched,
♥ ↔ ♥
but gold.
