"technical" poems
Love is like serving your customers, Leave them with good service and experiences, and they'll give you trust and loyalty like no other. Get the technical know-hows. Meet the demands and know the points and marks, To truly satisfy your customer's needs and wants. Like loving a person, You need to go ahead and seek for innovation. for competitors are just around, making their observations. Loving is satisfying, what's the point of begging your demands, If one should not adjust, or else better disband. And I am a loyal customer. I am a patron of her love and care, she gives me more than enough of what she shares. And I am a lucky customer. For she makes me feel most important, Everywhere we go and everything as applied. She leaves every experiences, with glitters and stars in my eyes. That's why I love her much, and I cannot deny. The joy of contentment, Lies in this constant ever changing quest, where we are moving, for each one's true happiness.

The Silk Engineer
Babies, babies everywhere Usually it's your opinion I share We're too old, too tired, too busy But the babies all around me are making me dizzy I'm rational, realistic and levelheaded It would be enough for me if we were just wedded Barely in our forties, but our youth in the past But I feel that the baby window is closing fast We each have our own and have been down this road a time or two But they're all growing up so fast, and I've never gotten to have one with you Robbed of that chance, I feel like we missed out on what should've been our life, our destiny But I feel blessed for the boys we have and I will be happy if that's all that's meant to be Babies are loud and they're too expensive And, truthfully, I really do like the way we live So many obstacles stand in the way A vasectomy, decreased fertility, how to pay It all gets so technical and sterile and void of romance I wonder if there is even the slightest chance All the procedures we'd need to endure So with this decision, we both must be sure Will we regret it and wish we had chosen a different path I don't want to end up in the poor house for not doing the math I'm so busy, would a surrogate be the way to go A nanny is fine for after, but with a surrogate, can a bond grow Then there's the smell of their hair That special bond that only you two share The way they hold onto you as if you hold the key to their heart The look of total terror in their eyes whenever you must part A small piece of me and a small piece of you Someone we create together, something we chose to do The one we were supposed to have years ago The dream that neither of us quite let go Here we are, decades later, together again Has too much time passed, too much life been Or was it always meant to be this way, We're older and wiser and more ready today It may never work and I need you to know, that I'm happy with just us if that's God's plan But if this is possible and my last chance, then I know you are the perfect man They'll all talk about us and say we're too old and crazy But this is how I chose to tell you, I'd like to try to have your baby

The Baby Debate
Babies, babies everywhere Usually it's your opinion I share We're too old, too tired, too busy But the babies all around me are making me dizzy I'm rational, realistic and levelheaded It would be enough for me if we were just wedded Barely in our forties, but our youth in the past But I feel that the baby window is closing fast We each have our own and have been down this road a time or two But they're all growing up so fast, and I've never gotten to have one with you Robbed of that chance, I feel like we missed out on what should've been our life, our destiny But I feel blessed for the boys we have and I will be happy if that's all that's meant to be Babies are loud and they're too expensive And, truthfully, I really do like the way we live So many obstacles stand in the way A vasectomy, decreased fertility, how to pay It all gets so technical and sterile and void of romance I wonder if there is even the slightest chance All the procedures we'd need to endure So with this decision, we both must be sure Will we regret it and wish we had chosen a different path I don't want to end up in the poor house for not doing the math I'm so busy, would a surrogate be the way to go A nanny is fine for after, but with a surrogate, can a bond grow Then there's the smell of their hair That special bond that only you two share The way they hold onto you as if you hold the key to their heart The look of total terror in their eyes whenever you must part A small piece of me and a small piece of you Someone we create together, something we chose to do The one we were supposed to have years ago The dream that neither of us quite let go Here we are, decades later, together again Has too much time passed, too much life been Or was it always meant to be this way, We're older and wiser and more ready today It may never work and I need you to know, that I'm happy with just us if that's God's plan But if this is possible and my last chance, then I know you are the perfect man They'll all talk about us and say we're too old and crazy But this is how I chose to tell you, I'd like to try to have your baby

I will contemplate my boredom today, it's terrible, I must dedicate my actions to something ethical, So I'll go agitate all the photo chemicals, It won't automate, it's not a technical miracle, I will be the chaser of an adventure to set out, To steal a stack of photo paper someone had left out, Took it from "The Enticing Taylor", stole his photo clout, I'm no hater but you better remember to take out, Your **** when you are done in the dark room...

Gone are the days when teachers Came to school on cycles Now every teacher owns a motor cycle No teacher wants to ride a cycle I am one of the few teachers Who now and then use cycles Riding a cycle is considered mean Even my daughters regard it as mere fun The cycle runs on human power The motor cycle on electrical power If it runs out of petrol Somebody comes to console If it develops a technical problem It keeps mum like a tar drum Human power is more reliable Electrical power is always unpredictable Bicycle is very easy to ride It is a poor man’s pride Riding a cycle is good for our health It even saves some of our wealth It saves environmental pollution And releases our mental tension

CYCLE AND MOTORCYCLE
Wimbledon’s playing on the TV in the living room. Dad and I are watching on the sofa. In the kitchen, Mom cuts carrots and cucumbers with a long blade. She slices the vegetables one by one. Orange pieces. Green pieces. I glance over Mom chops up the carrots and cucumbers without a cutting board, taking each long carrot and cucumber and slices it with precision, as though she’s a professional like the film with Natalie Portman and Jean Reno. But she’s not a little girl and she’s not a Frenchman. She’s like a mix-in-between, like the asphalt in our driveway and the grass sprouting in between the cracks. Dad is a computer engineer. He used to be an artist. Used to study technical drawing in a university in Saigon. He met mom when he was working on a play. She was the lead actress. Shakespeare had said, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.” He’s right, but right now I can’t tell what act I’m in. Dad focuses on the TV. Watches Federer and Djokovic, his eyes, darting from left to right like the mood of a young boy that crosses back and forth from light to dark, and back again. Blade in hand, Mom makes longer and deeper cuts across the cucumber, cutting away the skin, leaving deep cuts in the vegetable. Dad turns his head towards her, his neck cracking like the forehand swung by Federer. He clears his throat, softly, soft as gas leaking out from a stovetop from a studio apartment, like the scene in Fight Club, a match about to be struck. Mom sets the blade down on the table, and bites her lip. Her nostrils flare. I press down on the couch arm, and stand up, my head bent, my eyes wandering to the doorway.

Sometimes you just have to accept the things that you cannot change. Like, you can compulsive lie your *** off but it still cannot change what is true. They say that the truth is the hardest pill to swallow, so instead I crush it up and I snort it.   Even if there were things that I could change I fear I'll just make it even worse, so I mission abort **** I lack the ability to actually change me, and my courage is cowardly. I'm hopeless, but I really do hope that things will hurt less. I'm useless, but I don't think that I'll ever use less. If not this, then it would be that. It's all relative Nonsense where overall you were just another substance. But who am I to deprive misery of its love for company, honestly how could I possibly maintain stability and be granted any serenity, when all that is surrounding me and inside of me is constant insanity ?.. Yeah, it's called Drug Abuse, but is the term "Drug Abuse" and the overall meaning behind it really that simple ?.. In which being limited to the technical bottom line meaning and stating that by doing drugs you are abusing those drugs. Where in other words the users are apparently the abusers of the drugs that they use, but isn't it possible that the drugs actually abuse us too ?..

Technical Difficulties
I'm not superman And way too slow to be the flash I'm definitely not batman As I don't have Bruce Wayne's cash Can't swim good enough To be aquaman And I'm too chubby by far To wear the tights of Peter Pan I can't be the hulk I just don't look right in green Ironman? forget it That suits way too technical a machine I'm not your typical superhero You've never heard of me But should we ever be attacked by bacon My super power you would see I can't leap over a tall building In a single bound But I can eat bacon non-stop Pound after pound You know it's only a matter of time Bacon will attack sooner or later But have no fear dear citizens For I am, BACONATER!

The truth is easy to prove for it’s right in front of you, it doesn’t hide or keep secrets. I am probably the most honest person you will meet, for I am an autistic person. I will tell you as it is no sweetness or sugar daddy involved. You want to know how to be true? Learn how to think like cats do. Don’t worry about how others feel, instead question their motives but with respect for their uniqueness and views. Don’t try to look through someone else’s eyes without asking them what they see and then try to imagine what it would be like. You could also change the way you view yourself, stop seeing just yourself, imagine what it would be like to see like a blind mouse, imagine the possibilities are limitless, try to look beyond the normal. For normal is Technical: (of a line, ray, or other linear feature) intersecting a given line or surface at right angles. My autistic love is normal for me. My love is unconditional because I love with an autistic view, you can trust I will never lie to you. We who have an autistic view see life for what it is and we will tell the truth doesn’t matter if you wanted it. When I say I love you, that’s the truth. That’s autistic love for you. We love like cats do. © 2019 By Amanda Shelton

Autistic Love
While I return and slow down to the classics; the film analog cameras, vinyl records, typewriters, silent movies, worn-out pocketbooks, and other novelties of the old world charm... I also enjoy the convenience of the contemporary; my phone's one-click camera, spotify premium, notes app, netflix, kindle, and other niceties that the here and now has to offer... And while I rev back to the retro and vintage, I also race forward to the excitement and danger brought about by the internet, of chatting with a familiar stranger. of exchanging laughters in electronic. of feeling emotions from a vague, distant, technical, difficult source. Oh, the thrill and tragedy of technology!

Technical Difficulties
Why do we do better To make things only worse We make our houses big Our kids are grown Telecommunication New yard, technical phones. Staring out of our window Lost, lonely in a thoughtful watch Wondering will someone make it To our door or stop on our block Or leave us in our house alone As the quiet loner's we are.

Things really were different when I grew up, We’d leave our doors unlocked without a care, I think we were so grateful for what we did have that we didn’t stop to think about what we didn’t have, We would wait for things to come, Not like today where everyone wants things yesterday, So busy thinking of what they want I think they’ve forgotten what they have, No one seems to live in the present, They don’t want to talk to me, They’d rather talk to a stranger in another country, I suppose I’m the same, Living in the past, But things were different in the past, We were never prejudiced, Why would we of been, We had not much to offer and not much to lose, It’s a new thing, The fear and the bullying, The greed and the violence, I think a lot of people have gone mad, If you keep showing people nice shiny things they’ll want them, Then if you tell them it’s not shiny anymore, They’ll want a new one, And if they can’t afford a new one , Well, We were better off without all the new shiny things, Things weren’t so shiny back then, Maybe it made it easier for us, Too much choice isn’t always a good thing, Most of us were good people though but we did have our bad, But there was enough good to deal with it, I think the balance has shifted somewhat, Then there’s this social media your all obsessed with, Giving the bad people a mask to hide behind, It’s a shame, Things were more honest back then, All these technical media things are amazing but it’s changed people, I think it gives them power to control a lot more stuff, It’s a lot of pressure, I wouldn’t want all that responsibility, I think that’s why i struggle now, Because I remember a better time, When people were generally better, The world was so different back then, This isn’t  my world anymore, I often wish I was back then. I've not long left though then I can rest, Maybe go back the and see my  friends, Thanks for asking and listening though, It doesn’t happen much at my age, I hope you do well, Good luck my young friend.”

White girls can get stuck too, the same way that no money sandwiches you between two slices of dreams you cannot bite into, because we cannot pay for that school—stuck like peanut butter. I want things, but mostly I want to be able to stay at the university and learn so, someday, I can teach others too. Teach them to love good and truth and not care that they are not the businessman or engineer with a steady job. All they—all we—have to do is be willing to clean the bathrooms or flip the greasy burgers if we have to. Hands that are working and honest are always good hands, no matter what they do. When I tell people I love English and writing, the man or woman instructs me to pick something more practical—be a technical writer, a reporter, an advertiser. But I love my poetry, and no one can ask me to sell my happiness and design for a nice house and a maid who cleans because hubris has rusted my joints. I am not a hero or a martyr for words, but I am a woman who would humbly scrub toilets to feed her children, write poems at night, and be happy.

her face a bold echo of all she left behind a slow symphony of nasty things that linger in her mind she lives them over and over in the off color technical vision of an artist trying on her own guises for a adventure the night crawls over her thigh lodges in the warm wet of her fingers and spreads into the windows grey fades into black the slow devolution into the jaundiced eye into the nicotine stained tapping fingers as she impatiently waits for words that can never be spoken aloud the slow desire for tears so deep and immediate that its a bible to the lonely soul and her senses deny you even as you touch the door even as you evaporate down the hall melt yourself into the humid night so fair is her face that you live each of thouse seconds in dire regret so fair is her touch that you must lean on your last breath to let go the night crawls in her bed clothes laying its fetid eggs like a stain of pollution tender and sickly sweet its insect face bitter staring from her soul now i see you you escape over and over door hall humid night door hall humid night but you never leave narrow her eye jaundiced and rancid lay open for the world to see and be seen by and she molds him to the stain of her hurt deep impressions over the years leaves him little room to wiggle wiggle worm, wiggle wiggle worm

wiggle wiggle worm
Is there a doctor in the house? I think I'm having southern withdrawl symptoms shakes and such brain a blubbering mess why give one so much feeling if they can't get rid of it healthily? Too much for one body to handle maybe throw in another personality nothing bad ever happend just a technical problem during manufacturing a wire connected wrong or not connected at all amygdala super sensitive looking for comfort in wrong places stupid faces blazing aces therapists are kind but really need a map words only convey so much can't help if they can't understand whose fault is that? Probably the broken robot me doesn't speak in proper vernacular accustomed to being freakish and safe greasing joints with ***** circuit boards of tofu scramble electric feed back every once in a while when I cough perhaps new meds will calm overactive internal reactions or maybe being all vulnerable to candy hearted young men spilling secrets and insecurities to friends but they'll all leave right? Europeans had no problem taking over lands staying with natives eating their foods but if the natives had shared their deepest secrets and feelings pilgrims would have gladly returned home for persecution than to put up with an emotional Squanto.

Geese Eggs
YADA TASHY ( "Originator Stone" ) Outside the first snow falls. Her wounds are photographed. Spoken of. Described in detail. Technical. The overhead microphone takes it all in. Being dead she is more naked than she ever was. Stripped of her humanity. She had ceased to be who she used to be. She is now merely a cadaver. The autopsy can not tell her name. She is Kuzuku. Her mother called her KuKu. She had been born with a caul. KuKu was pregnant. She was going to call the child if it was a girl . . .Yuki. She couldn't conceive what she would call it if a boy? It was always going to be a girl. She liked candyfloss and her hair up. Now her hair is down. It touches her shoulders. As if her hair were still alive. The autopsy wound by wound tells of the hell of her dying. The voice is deadpan. Mechanical. The coroner breaks for coffee. Bitter.  Black. "Ya da!" as the Turks say. "...with nothing..." *** Kuzuku was named after the flowering plant/rampant **** Her mother always drank a tea made from it. Only her mother called her her pet name; "Kuku!" Her blacker than black hair always seemed like a living entity in itself as it danced upon her shoulders or splashed over her clavicles. She always wore off the shoulder dresses or tops even in winter cold. I once told her she had the cutest clavicles( "rekishi no naka de kawaī sakotsu" )in history which....always made her laugh. I told her she had well tempered clavicles and she laughed even more when the pun was explained to her. She had been born with a caul...a red caul. She it was who told me the Turkish tale or the Yada Daşı and of the Yadachy. She had just met the man who would eventually stab her to death and she was greatly in love with him and his culture. All these little scraps of humanity could not be disclosed by the autopsy which could never tell of how beautiful she was and what a joy she was to be around. Her death was a horror tale told by a friend of a friend of a friend and hard to comprehend or believe.
