Phone in your home Phone with you on the road Three way connections Incoming calls, not one, but another-aka call waiting Phones with caller ID Cordless phones Hands free phones Toothy phones sticking out of people's ears Picture phones...say cheese! Phone texting instead of talking Hello? I cannot hear you! Television and movies in your home DVD players in your car Watch those images on your computer Watch them on your cell phone Television in the airport Television in the restaurant Television at the gas pump Television in the grocery store line What's next? Television in the operating room? Music on your home stereo Music on your car radio Store it all on your traveling ipod Melodious cell phone rings everywhere Your mp3 player and new computer speakers Your favorite cable music channels And plenty of music blasted in the stores Can't I just have a thought to myself? Don't forget computers! Instant messaging Junk mail in cyberspace All your shows and movies always at your instant access Computer dating Computer stalkers and hacking Computer crashes I foresee because computer bugs and viruses are trying to invade my soul! And I feel sick! I can't get that music out of my head! I think my ears are ringing! You've heard of couch potatoes I think I'm a mouse potato! How is that for a human spud? Yes, I admit I'm addicted to my PC! That I spend more time with technology than I do with the human race! I should be burnt out like old hardware that is on extreme overload Not made of wires and steel but of flesh and blood I am designed! But I can't stop!!! The technology of the future is now here! I know what George Jetson was saying when he said: JANE! GET ME OFF THIS CRAZY THING!

velcro wallet was navy, i think gray plastic zipper grandma gave you i had a locket it had your picture inside but you threw it away because you looked like a rabbit apparently hair fluffed, eyes puffy two teeth and two hours of squirming on a photo booth plastic coin pouch small crayola blue walmart sticker on a side but it never made me smile not like that piggy bank did yard sale treasure dinosaur-shaped no smashing to withdrawl our tooth fairy dollars and dust still, you crammed stink bugs down the long neck's back now, a denim bag on my bed rhinestoned one in the closet and your wallet is real leather, i think has superheroes on it rough and grungy as the comic books in the attic or, did you toss those too? who needs a screwdriver without a ***** that's all money was just hardware we didn't have much use for but there is more than one way to use a tool so here, i'll paint it straighter who needs a coffin without a corpse? especially when we were so full of life back then

sibling snippet 10
#STICK’EM UP with LIQUID NAILS DANGER ! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE         See Other Caution on Back Panel: I’m hot for you Cowgirl – you’re so flammable my glue-gun starts to melt; my screwdriver starts twisting when you loosen that low-slung belt. You make me feel like laying re-bar in a freshly-poured foundation. Shoot me up with that caulk gun baby – I need you like salvation. Ten and one-half fluid ounces – pull off your top, pop a love-cap in me. Fingerin’ your trigger while the job is gettin’ bigger so take me for a ride to the hardware store, honey, cause I’m seeing red and feeling white on your golden background’s sheer delight.  Hammer me a heart-full, spike me on a cross of blonde, I’m hanging ten, surfing the tube of your magic wand. I’ve been in love ever since I first waterproofed my seamy undersides with you… stand over me in those red, red boots, you Liquid Nails Girl – and from your pure white Stetson let righteousness unfurl. You won the shoot-out long before you even drew, my dear. Lost hope of the Wild West, Final Frontal Feminine Frontier – there’s only one side of you…  your GOOD side.  Just one look and your fearless gaze silences the foes, my blooming prairie rose. YEE – HAW !  Be my angel, be my dream, my valentine rodeo queen, be my bodyguard, my therapist, long & tall & hard & wet – be my Liquid Nails Girl forever and I’ll ride right into your sunset…

Please keep in mind what Jaron Lanier said: You Are Not A Gadget. Anything you own, hardware or software, that you can't explain and is smarter than you makes you less of a human. I prefer to be a human; I hope you do as well. mce

You Are Not A Gadget
I took a walk in La Goulette yesterday From the “Bridge-of-the-Casino” to the port. The things I saw on my sun-bathing way So simple they were, here is a report: II Sea snakes under a blue bridge did frolic As hardware stores displayed paint in their windows. The water snakes performed some dance symbolic And the paint braved the dark rust from a distance. III And I, hastening to my liquid address, Shot a side look at a man in a dress, And hoped the blue water in the White Sea* Would wash the wound bleeding in my memory. © LazharBouazzi, 16/11/16 (revised Nov. 17)

Dear, let me startle you by slinking my hand into your smart, ethical decisions while I touch quite gently ripping to shreds your photon ends. Dear, let me caress your supple virtues and vows until they blow out of proportion merging your interests with mine like the longing of eyes uncanny in its distortion. Dear, let me rip off your clothes as I grip your tight notions ideas slipping carefully into place like a sterile, unflinching blank slate inching towards computed devotion. Dear, let me carry out some foreplay as long as you bend, not break, delightfully stroking the edge of your plate. Dear, let me come so close to your face so close that it becomes blurry. Where are my glasses in all this flurry? Of feelings resembling photo reels on fire shooting flames out the window beyond everything you’ve ever known; beyond anything you desire. Dear, let me kiss you to submission, your brain waves in motion as I twist and slip into them hormones ablaze lighting up for days your synapses recapturing in a binocular haze. Dear, let me flop on top of you like a floppy disk, uploading your lips into my hardrive. Do I make you hard as fire? Slowing burning my hot fingers curling up your robust spine cracking it into chiropractor sublime. Massaging your tired broad shoulders like large sofa ends. Is this keyboard only made for pretend? Dear, let me mind **** you take you and light you brighten your screen uphold and unseen neurons fighting as I whisper ***** words directly into the folds of your tulip ears too large to hear, and Dear, let me engage my rage into a productive haze bolting out words, unheard of for days. Dear, let us become undone together like the battery of a computer rebooting after a hectic hardware phase. Dear, let us breathe and walk through this maze.

Writing you these words, cause I have been thinking about you all day. Love to watch her go; I rather to watch you hours on end, every second of every day. You resolution, is purely evolution - I get so carried away. But unlike those Play stations, you don't take things the wrong way. Your hardware driving me crazy, been on my mind all day. Putting you in all the right positions, my edition of feng shui. Take a mental picture and keep it stored away so when I finally get to see you, take full control, and do things the right way. If it was up to me, you wouldn't know the difference between night and day. Close the blinds, lock the door, unplug the phone, and lets play; you do, everything, I say. Pushing your buttons, cause I love it when you act this way. you are the only thing in this world that does exactly what I say. there for me when I need sum action; after a stressful day. You relieve me so quickly; even if its just a quickie. That's why I will always need you, my Xbox 360.

My Ex-360
BAND concert public square Nebraska city. Flowing and circling dresses, summer-white dresses. Faces, flesh tints flung like sprays of cherry blossoms. And gigglers, God knows, gigglers, rivaling the pony whinnies of the Livery Stable Blues. Cowboy rags and ****** rags. And boys driving sorrel horses hurl a cornfield laughter at the girls in dresses, summer-white dresses. Amid the cornet staccato and the tuba oompa, gigglers, God knows, gigglers daffy with life's razzle dazzle. Slow good-night melodies and Home Sweet Home. And the snare drummer bookkeeper in a hardware store nods hello to the daughter of a railroad conductor-a giggler, God knows, a giggler-and the summer-white dresses filter fanwise out of the public square. The crushed strawberries of ice cream soda places, the night wind in cottonwoods and willows, the lattice shadows of doorsteps and porches, these know more of the story.

Floating, drifting, Slowly it passed from his hand To the cold, hard sidewalk. It once was a pretty flower, With petals bright and cheerful And a stem green and healthy. Johnny’s night had not been great, As was anticipated by his mom. “You’ll have fun!” she said. “But what about…” he trailed off, Remembering the hulking ex-boyfriend Of Lily, the girl he thought he loved. “Just have fun,” she soothed. Walking- no scuffling -down the street, He remembered those last words she had said. Even though this hadn’t been the night of his life, He could still have a good time, right? Five minutes later, Johnny exited the nearby hardware store. Four cans of spray paint in hand, He drifted into the community center downtown. All Johnny needed was a blank canvas And about an hour before they closed for the night. *I thought I was going to get my first kiss. I could have sworn she was going to be my girlfriend this time. If only I wasn’t such a dork, Then maybe she would be interested in me. I hate everyone and everything!* The paint sprayed and splattered onto the canvas. Johnny was breathing hard now. Now he was ready, he was energized. Ready to take on the world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With a cover over the painting, Johnny headed back to the dance. He hadn’t even entered the building before, Which meant he still had his ticket. Johnny threw his ticket to the usher And made his way over to the DJ. “Turn off the music for like five minutes. Please.” “Why?” “Because I’ll give you three dollars And whatever else is in my pocket.” “Fine. Five minutes. No more.” “Thanks.” Johnny smiled. As soon as the music was off, Johnny dashed over to Lily And her giant boyfriend. He set the painting on the floor And grabbed her in his arms. Johnny then kissed her As passionately as he knew how. Lily, stunned and confused, Teetered back onto a chair. Then, just when the huge brute was about to punch him, Johnny swiftly clutched the picture and ripped off its cover. The boyfriend gazed, along with the rest of the crowd, At the beautiful girl on the canvas. “You painted this?” “Yeah.” “You really love Lily, huh?” “Yeah.” “Then you need to kiss her again.” The ex-boyfriend smiled at Johnny and Johnny smiled back. He looked over at Lily. He handed his painting to the ex-boyfriend. Johnny reached for Lily’s hand, Wrapped his arms around her. “Will you, Lily, be my girlfriend?” Lily gazed into Johnny’s eyes, Leaned in, And whispered in his ear, “Yes.”

Those sleepless summer nights Sweat pouring from every crack In thinly layered sunburnt skins It was all panties-on-the-floor Blood-on-the-sheets And ******* Living out highschool fantasies Like the cool kids Life before 22 was all a dream Of midsummer swelter and Salt water In the mind of the dog Chained up in the universe's yard Tethered to the ether world Racing rabbits through space While I was turned into an *** Staring at the mirror And my expressionless face *This must be how cancer feels Growing increasingly smaller In a world where cabinets And aspirations grow increasingly taller She met the devil For coffee on diagnosis day But the deal they made didn't take Her hair fell out And her body atrophied anyway She found herself Floating far far away Her blood coagulating like A broken thermometer Of mercury* Salvador Dali painted this fall The house of salvatore Minds gone to roost under warm eaves Staring fireplaces Hungry couches and singing windows It's all ******* drooping like clocks And derailing thoughts The local biddies Cluck their tongues At the absurdity of infinity And the girl in Ace Hardware Buying shoepolish to hide her tan lines Yawns, as her boyfriend feels her up *Meanwhile I collapse Like a house of cards with a flick of the wrist Thinking about life's mathematical beauty*

Surrealism
When the man at the hardware store asks, what shade of blue are you looking for sugar, to paint the walls of our hypothetical son's room, I would have said heartbreak, the same shade of heartbreaking blue as his daddy's eyes. Ironic, because I would have rooted for a gender neutral colour, an agnostic upbringing and a liberal education, but somewhere down this erratic, dysfunctional relationship, I stopped caring, or perhaps, cared only of you. Since you left there's nothing to care about, there's no you, there's no us, there's no motivation, my priorities, values and aspirations are still maintaining a distance, I'm feeling a heartbreaking shade of blue. Like that one time I got high on dried out **** I was completely aware of every stage of this breakup, the shock, the disbelief, the sadness, the pain, the regret, until it stopped. The world has come to a standstill, leaving me tripping between spring and snowflakes on the windowsill, I'm not coming down from the high, or low, I should have got you out of my system 4 years ago. It's not a linear process, said my friend, and I know what he means, because for everyday I get through without thinking of you, I spend weeks curled up in pain in bed or on the floor, feeling a heartbreaking shade of blue. Kept awake at night, weary, paranoid and deluded, suffocated, drowned in despair, sometimes even in air, in the shallow words, empty promises and plans made, thrown into solitary confinement among hundreds of other people, breaking me, when I'm already broken. All while you stripped me of my dignity, intuition and optimism, disregarded my needs, exploited my insecurities and wasted my heart, I thought I knew you, come to think of it, I don't think your eyes are blue.

The world has come to a standstill, leaving me tripping between spring and snowflakes on the windowsill, I'm not coming down from the high, or low, I should have got you out of my system 4 years ago. It's not a linear process, said my friend, and I know what he means, because for everyday I get through without thinking of you, I spend weeks curled up in pain in bed or on the floor, feeling a heartbreaking shade of blue. Kept awake at night, weary, paranoid and deluded, suffocated, drowned in despair, sometimes even in air, in the shallow words, empty promises and plans made, thrown into solitary confinement among hundreds of other people, breaking me, when I'm already broken. All while you stripped me of my dignity, intuition and optimism, disregarded my needs, exploited my insecurities and wasted my heart, I thought I knew you, come to think of it, I don't think your eyes are blue.

The attendees are told, in a manner befitting a high mass You have been finally set free, (Although, in truth, free is a very large and entirely vague word), And the message is sent forth from all comers in all corners: Vendor and visionary alike, German socialists who left university to ride boats for Greenpeace, First lieutenants doing their level best To appear at ease in civilian polos and khakis, But no matter the vessel, The message is still the same.   The tyranny of cables and storage space is dead, It is all but shouted from the lecterns, (Although it is noted, in small print and sotto voce That there are certain requirements In terms of hardware and licensing) And it is stated by Those Who Know In tones which neither brook nor invite contradiction, That they have surmounted, all Hadrian-like, The alpine divide separating mere data and magic. Two or three blocks down the street from the convention center, In a narrow storefront housing an exhibition of ether-only comics Which have broken the nettling constraints Of editors and syndication, There sits, under a somewhat opaque And slightly scratched piece of plexiglass, A yellowing comic strip of uncertain vintage, In which a frowzy cat, Free of the constraints of panels, gender, and standard grammar, Is the recipient of a mouse-tossed brick Whose flight, unfettered by physics, probablility, indeed time itself Ends striking its mark right between the x’s of the eyes The projectile itself an inexplicable alchemy Of confusion, mirth, frustration And the impossibility of an undeniably pure love.

Poem: Computer Geek
I remember when we were young, and the shark fin made by falling water droplets from the back-and-forth sway of windshield wipers on our car window would scare you Because you thought that the spaces we couldn’t reach would form monsters in their crevices, and I would laugh and roll my eyes, like big brothers did. And I remember how, on nights when we would sleep over at grandma’s, the pitter-patter of our puerile feet on hardware floors was the only sound to be heard. Shadows formed where the beam of my flashlight hit, adorned with fading Spiderman stickers and the like- and you would squeal under my whispered protests because of the unfurling octopus limbs that were the leaves of a potted plant. We grew older, and so did my suspicions, as you crept out of the realm of childish make-believe and into a world that even when showcased in daylight was a nightmare. Demons, from the deep fire that enflamed the world’s core tried to penetrate  the surface, according to you. But as their hands reached forth out of the earth’s skin, they curled in agony, the evil of the earth halting their conquest. They fossilized and shriveled in autumn’s wake,   gray and deadened fingertips just unassuming tree branches, the perennial reaches just fibrous spindles blurring in the sunlight. The world held prospects despite your macabre claims, And as we grew I distanced myself from your melancholic tune. Trees were trees, and bore fruit at summer’s twilight and the friends I made were all of the parts most sweet. I was content with the woman I met, she blonde-haired and lovely her free-falling locks sparkling gold in every light,   and her personality as rich and as glossy.   I was content with my life of looking away from spaces where our human hands couldn’t reach, demons out of eyesight in the beam of glass city buildings. But as the dusk of one day segued into the dawn of another, I grew weary, each routine just a part of this monotonous human noise to which I, too had voiced. And I found myself driving one day when thunder roared in the sky, rain once again pouring into its shark fin mold. Your voice came into my head, the demon hands that had had died trying to take us over with their evil but overwhelmed by our own brand of hellish wretchedness lined the freshly paved sidewalk, and with a twist of the wheel one unreachable space met another.

Starting fires and suggesting that they sit in flimsy metal pits from hardware stores or such is all well and good until flames remind you they have no gods, no morals, just free will, while the smoke marks you its own

I I took a walk in La Goulette yesterday, From the “Bridge of the Casino” to the port. The things I beheld on my shiny way So simple they were, here is a report: II Sea snakes under a blue bridge did frolic As hardware stores displayed paint in their windows. The water snakes performed some dance symbolic And the paint braved the dark rust from a distance. III At a green grocer’s cart a lady in jeans Sought peas, artichokes, & broccoflower; Two lovers, each tried to explain, As a cat miaoed, what love was to the other. VI And I, hastening to my liquid address, Shooting a side look at a man in a dress, Was hoping the glazing port in the White Sea* Would wash the bleeding wound in my memory. © LazharBouazzi, Nov.16, 2016, revised Nov. 17, 2016, elongated July 8, 2017

Where the hell did you go to with your fancy two dollar words? What happened to the flaunt-er, the flirtatious ******* fornicator? You tempted me with daunting thoughts. You teased me with your pornographic pics. Posted HTML induced ******* leaving my C.P burning for U! Where the hell did you go to? you said you were protected. What happened to your anti-viral software? I thought it covered all your hardware. Don't just ignore me, or flood me out... you have a senseless, sick sense of humor. You kicked me from your room, out in the cold of cyberspace. New address, different text, but now I've found you! Hiding behind a new facade. Yes now I've tracked you down, don't you know me, can't you see? It's you that's done this to me. Barefoot, bowlegged, and pregnant with you cyber-child!
