Twenty

Twenty

 

I’ve been caught, a flopping fish on Stearns Pier – sunny day, trying to keep up with tech

which smells like a mackerel on a dock in hot sun.

This looks fishy

 

I know it sounds like I’m complaining

knowing that hooks from the money guys are making these

keyboard keys feel like psychic shocks as I type them…ouch!

 

Mark Elan Zuckerberg Musky smells are coming from Silicon Valley

but the gourmet food being offered tastes like sauerkraut.

 

Ebeneezer Tech has got hot eyes for your wife

on this raging river of computerdom.

 

money motivated mongrels hiding in the keys smell like old big eyed bass

in the fridge and feel like mushy potatoes full of shards of glass

 

But maybe tech is its own flopping fish that should try to keep up with me

perhaps I should let tech be Darth Vader take over from my big baby

Yet, I am fed constant deceit on computers and the world would be much better without them.

 

a good ol’ Apple II GS computer is an apple of my eye

She and I can figure it all out and merge to become Harv the computer whiz

 

flowery techno daisy

 

It’s really easy to figure all this stuff out if I surrender to my inner Yoda

just say oy veh which amazingly slays the dragon that heats these keyboard squares

 

but that dragon speaks in tongues that somehow make sense

to the masses who oddly speak the same language

 

While all l I see on my computer screen are dollar signs that twist and turn like a 300 pound contortionist trying to wiggle out of a phone booth.

  1. I just read your Radiant Orchid poem…
    I love the title…and particularly this line
    a glow I fell head over tresses
    in love with

    Congratulations on doing all 24…Wow!

    And thanks for your feedback…that poem was quite the challenge…I’ve edited it a bit since then but that’s a tricky one to make coherent…

    Write on!
