seven billion voices
cry out to be heard
through every available outlet
mouths scramble for ears.
we pick our poisons
apparently at random
gorging on a banquet
in an endless sea of technology.
drowning in selective information
less detail means more inclusive
all sharing the essential self
ego dominates all ways.
in unfathomable strangers
we find sideshow mirrors
astonishingly parallel
someone speaks with my voice.
do i exist?
does she?
is anyone real?
or is it just me?
slipping to the edge
of insanity
i find a twin enduring
a fate that might be mine.
or is it simple
attribution error...
and there is no parallel at all
except the human condition.
how many strangers and fools
would confuse us for one
except for differing names?
the devil is in the details.
worse yet,
is it simply a sign
that i am, and have always been,
trite?
this is great!
by the way. don't just stand on the brink
JUMP IN THE WATER IS FINE!!!!
peace

Cuz I didn't see this till now.
I'll put out an easy one for you.

Trite ain't you.

thanks :)
i don't think you're trite at all. you have a unique style.
I don't have the dictionary
You have.
Really.
I will put out that little poem.
I wrote another one I like in the early morning
But I'm not puttin it out to everyone.
KS
I would like to
But
why not?
if you like it, you should share it.
I like it to much
I can't find that little one
But .....
I can give you another one.
You have to promise
You won't like it.
( I'm moody like that )
Which one ? ( I'm thinkin' )
I like this one more ( your poem )
Just a little confused about it.
KS
All
You too ?
Don't mind me
I'm just talking to my Muse.
Consider all that
The start of my next poem.
Emojeeeee
