Yes. Never Call Me A Luddite

Some of my friends swear they are, but I'm not.

 

 

 

(sonnet #MMMMMMCCXL)

 

 

Rain. Just a whisper as how twilight thence

Steals thinly 'cross the ist more fragile scale

Of wet? I caught that note in sweet all hail

To say "it can't be--!" puddles' ghostly sense

Now winking lightly from the blacktop, whence

That subtler voice of traffic hissing, pale

In deeper shadows' lonely wake, t'avail

Was't true, and phone recharging, what from hence?

I'm sleepy. Blackened silhouettes hulk fer

Good measure in the darkness, like a crew

Upon some ghastly mission as it were,

But I'm too tired for aught now, lying down to

Effect right in this stuffed chair. Call it poor,

And one espresso long gone, kiss me too?
