perhaps just to scream

i have to release
from the daily routine
to break myself free
sweep out the debris
to make time to breathe
to slow down the speed
and focus on need
i’m tired of the scene
tired of the machine
tired of swimming up stream
of forces unseen
i’m running out of steam
and need a reprieve
a break to just dream
or perhaps just to scream

in the moment
making the illustration helped

walk with me

my fingers slide
arms opened wide
i touch each side
of the mine at one time
and take each stride
wide eyed but blind
hoping to find
souls of like mind
hearts unconfined
reflecting devine
passionate, kind
values aligned
who’d be just fine
to walk for a time

techie tots

i’m tired of listening
to the techie tots
talk about their toys
and the google bots
itty bitty little
toddler tech minds
drooling all over their
cool new web finds
the latest, greatest
gizmo wizbang
sure to attract
the X, Y, Z gang
riding on their
neo bubble
too drunk on tech
to smell the trouble
been there, done that,
callin’ it a day
tired of the techie tots
and web 2.0 cliches
