Until
I wander A house Known As if my own Wondering, pondering Past interactions Missed opportunities Arguments Confrontations Love Laughter Anger Sorrow Could have been Might have been Other than it was Other than A tragic dénouement A single Word Missed Cue Lost Feeling Reaction Action Blank look Angry glare Beady-eyed stare Chance mislaid Never noticed […]
Nothing Left to Give
Smart phones are a boon and a curse They unite, simultaneously isolate us Rooted deep into our days, our purse In oh so many ways they bankrupt us Tech rules, talking, staring at a screen Cut off from each as we communicate To the fly on my leg, it means nothing In caves, no-touch interaction […]
Business as Usual?
Could it be we all simply do not care Enveloped in our sad and petty lives Trusting wealthy, politicians, swearing Won’t alter Earth so only they survive Hasn’t happened yet, that I’m aware Nor a thing to help our world survive We might well live outside, walk bare Any leader we asks only jukes or […]
