emotive

automatic automobile make-believe motion
a constant commotion of public transportation
walking wearily from and to and to and from
the phone rings - in between - be a keen
dear and get it, would you? - inferred
instances, misplaced emotions,
this for that, misplaced hats,
time?
selected time.
patience depleted.
patients completed.

a lone finger writes
into the night as
other people go
about other things, oblivious, as it were, to the blur of words that
pour out of the typewriter - digital and modern - across the screen,
screaming, \"we're the ones! we're the words!\" but as awful as that
\"we are the world\" attempt at togetherness. nothing. drained. the
others will never read the words dropped seemingly incoherently
onto the pages of a notebook in the urban innercity jungle of cement
towers and fortresses of consumerism with the king of the dollar,
mammon's handmaidens, decked to the hilt with mixed metaphors.

quite
a bore
unless
you're
into it,
i guess,
some dig
it and others,
don't understand
or don't want it or
are afraid of it or
simply bored with
it or tired of it
already ...

lines,
lives,
linen,
lenin,
lennon,
lemon,
loser.
