Technical difficulty zooming into meeting

Regarding yours truly

he experienced setback

amplified by Luddite propensity

nostalgic longing for simpler age

bring back horse and buggy

better yet find me a mancave

and/or apprise me

ideally via email

Flintstone web page modality

 

allowing, enabling, and providing

excellent linkedin access

whereby augmented

and/or augmented reality

telecommunication simulation

delivers, exports, and ferries lame poetaster

to small town America

a place that time forgot and

 

the decades cannot improve

within which dwell

strong women, good-looking men

and above average children

Wobegon place name

preserving lifestyle

exhibiting voluntary simplicity

though aforementioned fictitious locale

fires up imagination as does

 

a place called Willoughby

flourishing along outer limits

of twilight zone

buzzfeeding outlier zee

crème de la crème confabulist

this side of Schwenksville

hankering towards... nebulous

body, mind and spirit synchronicity

 

courtesy sweat of mine brow equity

acquiring alliance, cognizance, existence,

guidance, intelligence...

think **** Proenneke

alone in the wilderness survivalist

jack of all trades

I would live free,

yet nevertheless die

 

ill equipped to captcha victuals

and/or drink

to stave off hunger

and/or thirst respectively

one twenty first century beastie boy

heavily dependent upon

urbanization, mechanization,

industrialization, civilization

to savor creature comforts

 

climate controlled environment(s)

courtesy finite fossil fuel extraction

**** sapiens scourge upon planet Earth

me metaphorically on par

one more human parasite

zapping nonrenewable resources

thus desirous (yet helpless)

to forsake consumerist lifestyle

 

yet lack ways and means

to toil physically

to wrest good n plenti

juicy fruits of labor,

which initial premise

as iterated with poem title

dramatically off tangent, yes?
