Connected
In the noise of the city,
where faces merge with cold screens,
we live in an era of empty echoes
and weary of shouting into the void.
The streets are labyrinths of concrete and glass,
distorted reflections of fragmented dreams,
and advertisements blink like empty promises,
poisoning the mind with unfulfilled desires.
We live in an era of illusory connection,
where smiles are posted an...

90's New Frontier (Pantoum Format)
I’ll catch you on the information super highway,
where the history of the future is written.
A world-wide wonder created for today,
they say our future is data driven.
If the history of the future is to be written,
this motor of modern society is the place.
Human destiny will be data driven,
in the digital networked cyberspace.
The motor of modern society is the ...

Arachn Idvasion
once upon a time
thought I would like to watch
a diligent spider
fabricate its nest to completion
but now, I had little choice
oh, the offensive beastie
climbed right into my ear
commenced wrapping its sticky
cobwebs around my unguarded mind
yes, this nightmare of all
my waking frights ambled about
rolling and knotting my thoughts in its
pinching, chop-stick, weaving fingers
old e...

the comments section (03/23/2021)
thru spider legged silk
slid dissonance
to beget grocery lists
by the hungers of bristling,
wrestless tithe takers
now meet makers
at the ends of the earth
carried by arachnid conveyor belts
(digestive polyps, if you will
but you wont)
and this poisonous ride through a vacuum--
or at least, the vacuous--
ends
in a convenient
gift shop.

Mermaids from Monkeys
In 1842, there was
a travesty called 'The Fiji Mermaid,'
composed from the torso
of a dried monkey corpse fastened
to the tail end of a fish--
Megaphoned mouths
of carnival barkers touted
the splendor of the
so-called 'genuine' mermaid
and seduced willing suckers
'born every minute,'
to dish out oceans of hard-earned money
just so they could gawk at the mocking
man-made monstrosity.

On Living in the Modern Day
On The World as a Wonderless, Godless, Hopeless Abyss
[DISCLAIMER- I've done basically no reading on this topic so this might all be obvious. Also, I'm not even religious].
Despite what the title might suggest, I am a happy, agnostic young adult with prospects and ambitions for the future. However, despite my naturally happy disposition, I have always felt somehow underwhelmed. I enjoy life...

Moral Abyss
Meet me in the
moral abyss,
the interwebs
of eternal bliss,
where we will
confirm our love
with a virtual kiss.

I get it...Yet
I get it…Yet
I get the internet
Yet
here I am trawling through stuff
Not writing enough
Pasting, wasting and chasing flat dreams and holograms,
Missing the meaning and depth
Of a moment
Of an movement
Of living.

Internet Insanity!
I visited my cousins in Russia
One summer vacation day,
And my conclusions during my stay
Turned out to be more than I could say.

What happened?

Older cousin surfs on laptop
Younger did that and ipod games too
Sister sticks to ginormous ipad
I skim online webs in hullabaloo!

What’s happening?!

Day after day, hour after hour
We’re caught in the ...

Bursting The Internet Bubble...
As the Millenium ticked over the Dot-Coms were growing fat like leeches on a backpackers legs. Everyone was talking about them bursting and indeed there were a few signs to show that something was going to happen. I was studying for a degree in The Netherlands and one of my elective courses was in poetry. One of our assignments was to take an existing song and write new lyrics for it... This was m...

Ew.
For the love of God
Just...
Change your sheets.
Take a shower,
You stink.
Your body is exuding more fumes than a nuclear plant.
And by God.
While we're on this trail of reconstructive surgery.
Toss out that shit personality.
Trashy anime and cartoons, no counting for taste.
Kid, if you put a rainbow filter over that drawing, I swear to God...
No wonder every...

Simon Bette's Cry of the Lost Lamb
On thy knees
Prays the lost lamb, reborn anew.
A young man of God with white 'round his collar.
Often he looks to the father
I look to the father
And I pray for more fun.
A son of God must have more to do, anything more interesting
The population of this city churns
Wishing that they could be more than what they are now
The lambs cry as I once did
I must not recall

The Hollow World
All that you invest is what may be won
it's just an echo coming back
and yet we hang in helpless wait
the hollow world rings on and on
Who can answer what you do not ask
low odds of someone calling out
just at the moment you need them to
the hollow world rings on and on
Those pretty faces, so carefully curated
those galleries of happinesses waiting
changeless irrespective of your fee...

Under The Bridge
Under The Bridge
hunched up like a demon
grotesque and out of shape
tip tip tapping on the keyboard
mouth permanently agape
looking for hurt and misery
searching out the weak
twisted soul and brainless
an ever growing clique
devouring our innocence
inflicting further pain
they look for human tragedy
their claws dig in again
we cannot understand them
so we underestimate
their capac...

Today's Great Undead Poets
Today's great undead poets,
awash in the internet sea,
seek to fill the void of sensible emptiness
of our cyberspace world.
Following the heroic tradition of Man,
these daring individuals look to gain acceptance
through the expression of concepts.
Mirroring the virility and vitality of Life,
in defiance of critical naysayers,
the blankness of virtual paper
is scribbled upon with hurt, ho...

MARCH OT TECHNOLOGY
MARCH OT TECHNOLOGY
Computers, internet, email and robots
all thrown together in our hi-tech world.
An awesome power that is unbelievable,
it touches each and every one of us in our daily lives.
We take it all for granted but just think,
what will be here in ten years?
Mankind could be on the way out as computers finish
the revolution they started thirty years ago.

Internet Dating
Have we transcended
Broken some rule.
Disturbed the harmony
Disrupted the Universe.
Stopped time, changed
Set a trend.
Broken the mould
Found a new way to send love.
Universe opened
Doors, tunnels.
Way in for lost souls
Stuck in the waiting room.
Waiting to find
A similar heart, perfect match.
Is it a key or latch
We are in and we will stay.
Giving comfort and succour
Lift eac...

I Miss You
Hello there,
Angel from my nightmares.
Devil from my dreams
a grey spirit that weaves
its way through my existence.
What a Dementor does to souls
or a Dalek to a human heart.
Even a superhuman heart
can break.
Just ask Logan,
a force so strong
a returning phoenix
could not reignite remnants.
I miss you.
Whatever yo...

Are you that easy to forget?
.
Into the bleak after hour
where dreams blend into
hopes that have gone sour
I am one of many, upon rocks
ocean spume that wet your socks.
Why do you walk the shores
with socked feet?
When bare footed symphonies
lift their song in your chest
above outstretched branches of tress
I am one of many grains of sand,
nameless stars cupped in hand.
Will y...
