“WAVE LENGTH”

Hey, Kate, Karla, Ed, Allen,

Did I forget anyone? I’m sure,

Are we on the same wavelength?

I sometimes wonder,

When poems they get posted,

That are similar in length,

But not in width or breadth,

And yours always seem to have,

Much more strength,

Than that of my little ditties,

At that time only half-length.

I wonder if I should finish,

That which I think is too much similar,

Or just to my work so far,

Take a Rototiller or use it as filler in future writes.

No, I say, I put them aside,

Saving them for future reference,

Till one day I find myself entrenched,

At a loss for words, hard to believe, huh?

I jump back to my saved workbench,

And after dusting off the stench,

Of it sitting on my bench for so long,

I may get a new idea, but then,

When post it, I go to do,

One of you already have something new.

Again something that I have to rewrite,

Going through all the above all over again,

Man what a pain, are they looking at me on a camera?

Have they got me bugged like the government?

Can they see into my computer?

Oh my god, I’ve been HACKED!

Well, so much for living in this shack,

Will have to move,

Far enough away, maybe to the Louve?

Or have my little shack, swept, electronically…

Oh what the hell, I just got to admit,

My ideas, they are getting more like shit… J
