#snark
It’s Monday - again - every time I look around, it seems like it’s Monday again. Weekdays I run on snark and caffeine. If I seem preoccupied.. I’m not ignoring you, I’m buffering My playlists soothe and understand me I’m not ignoring you, I’m reorganizing a playlist. My mood is linked to Wi-Fi strength. I’m not ignoring you, I’m doom scrolling. On weekends, we put the ‘pro’ in procrastination we take the celibacy out of celebration and work on our romantic cardio Sometimes you gotta pop-out and show your alignment I’m not ignoring you, I just don’t want to pull a bird-finger muscle . . A song for this: The Politics of Dancing (12" Extended Mix) by Re-Flex Without Him by Triste Janero I Don't Like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats

FIT THE FIRST – The Tale Untold It is an ancient Mariner, And he stoppeth one of three. 'By thy long grey beard and glittering eye, Now wherefore stopp'st thou me? The Bridegroom's doors are opened wide, And I am next of kin; The guests are met, the feast is set: May'st hear the merry din.' He holds him with his skinny hand, 'There was a ship,' quoth he. 'The crewmen hunted down a snark, And sailed across the sea.' The wedding-guest here squeezed his breast And broke the seaman's hold. 'I've gotta go,' he said to him Whose tale was left untold.

A Parody in One Fit
A walk in the park Where there is some talk Of raising the Snark Misguided remark. There is no conclusion That I could envision To plunder delusion And clear the confusion While we may contest That theories attest His morbid diffusion Just leave him to rest.

Nonsense
I am numb to the kindness they give me But sensitive to the needles they ***** me with: The ones that were supposed to numb all of me up At once.

Compliments are Quiet
Feed me with favorites, re-tweets and likes Feed me with hearts as flat as knifes Feed me with double taps and false reality Feed me with comments from a celebrity Stroke me gently and repeatedly My ego enjoys a timely delivery

It's strange to me to write one word at a time on each line. Who speaks like that? Poetry, I think, should be a conversation between you and your soul. Your soul may not understand unnecessary intermittent pauses. Well. I don't understand unnecessary intermittent pauses. Case in point: Writing this was difficult. (It's probably a literary weakness.) I imagine that a soul would speak in at least partial sentences without such halting spasmodic twitches. Unless it doesn't. I am not your soul. If you find wholeness and depth and truth by writing this way, then carry on. ******* (There's the rhyme. There's always a place and a time for convention.)
