Give Me Credence


I am
disconnected
redirected
unexpected
ly
separating
from reality
sucked
into a worm-hole
of
cyber space
seeking
approval
from strange
eyes
as
Eye
decompress
second-guess
the
words
I type
relentlessly.
Ghosts —
ghosts in the machine
shaking
invisible
heads
wagging
invisible
fingers
in pixels
of disapproval
and
I
can't
seem to stop
or
I will vanish
leaving you
to remember
only
a
misplaced
comma
and my funny
last name.

Especially more so because I tend to dislike too obvious poetic play, but this works, works, works, and I'm won.

Love it, oooh, yes...again..god, I was smiling in recognition of the 'ghosts' and the why do we, etc...and Oh, YOU are ...memorable!
wasn't it old Bill S. that said, er, 'What's in a name' (well, HIS LAST NAME WASN'T LESCHI (and pronounced Lesky Less-key?)
Oh, Damn, either way, this seemed as if those ghosts had to run to get out of the way, YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY!
Really enjoyed the style, quick and with wit and commas? ahhhhh! Patricia Gomes, oh!
really needed this, Thank You++++

Trade you your last name for my initials. And we may be faceless, but we all have personalities and honest natures. I your stuff wasn't worth reading, none of us would be reading it. So, 2 for us, 0 for you. You have to stay. BAD

This is a great write! Loved the use of the lone "ly" in the 5th line. I'm sure you've missed a comma somewhere though (j/k) Enjoyed this! Mal.
