Computer

 

Look, I am on the computer (it's true),

a new means for streams of being me --

Harbor of technology, submerging ships

in a tsunamic storm of misfit drifters

dancing on the screen as the softest serenades

swirl and swirl and swirl to the joy

of a world into which we generate disproportion.

Look, I am on the computer (yes indeed),

more capable, with its keypad of letters,

than the drought of a touchscreen cellphone.

So I hone what is meant in immediacy,

intimate in the wells of selfsame situated judgement,

and still yet grieve that I am to be judged

as my new profile name and picture

and edits and prevalant poetical prejudices drown

dream and is grown from otherworldly demise

from the abysmal sea, the predecessor of time

annhialating misgiving and misery into 

only what seems as a fond, familiar entity.

With wit, sass and a

With wit, sass and a miraculous gift for metaphorical thinking, you took the experience of virtual living into sharp focus: all the elation, social anxiety, pitfalls, frustrations and addictions of "misfit drifters/ dancing on the screen as the softest serenades/ swirl and swirl and swirl . . ."  And in the end, this sterile bastion of escapism, this "new means for streams of being me" is a perfectly comfortable second home, a "fond and familiar entity".

 

Innovative and wondrous. Your work is quite a find!

Always the adept Symbolist,

Always the adept Symbolist, you skillfully merge the abstract and the mundane---and from such fusions, as in the cores of stars, great light (as in poetic emotion and heightened meaning) emerges for your readers.
