Poems
Oct 1
Which superpower would you choose?
Ever wished for a getaway?
Silent, solo, one-way vacay?
Happy, humanity holiday?
No-folk, lone-boat hideaway?
Do you drown in a roomful?
Or sag from a spoonful?
Is a mutter a mouthful?
Or a minute a moonful?
Or possibly next door
Is too near to hope for
Just presence impending
Is chthonic, light-ending
When speaking is deafening
Conversing, head-hefting
Add talkers together,
More sound than a blender
Shrill shouting and yelling
All brain and ear-bending
Wailing and waterworks
More blasting than fireworks
Even when voice-mute
Their feelings still noise-shoot
They sing and scream
Or **** and steam
Leave you battered
Dry-tattered
All flaking and scattered
Slight sheets float dust-shattered
Disintegrating on contact
Obliterating the contract
All social rules are in retract
Safety exits are abstract
Unbeatable, unkillable
Invincible, divisible
Not fast or irresistible,
I choose to be invisible
