Young love

Never shall I

Be thrown into despair

By a network malfunction

Or honey bees buzzing in the air

I listened 

Motionless and still

Waving finger over screen

As if I had no will

Your texting mingles with the splendour

Of a youtube clip with a million hits

Your blue ray love stings my heart

A song ebbs and echoes in its chambers

Katty Perry, Dark Horse, hashatag, #never apart!

I cradle for a home with hot plums

Where a brash black crow

Eats a worm in front of Emily Dickenson

And then rows away in the sky

Today my emotions go toe to toe face-timing virtual foes

Face-timing until I'm faceless,

Over connected 

A  Teletubbie stuffed in the fast cycle of a dryer

With no wifi just whistling fi fi

And Spock who could forget the gifted Vulcan 

Tribulating with Tribbles

That purr to get stroked 

Spock ain't no dope

He never played with magic

Tribbles were hybrids 

Tribbles multiplied and got stoked

I got a trophy tweet 

From my homeboy wearing a straw hat

In the shadow of a pumpkin field

Says he’ll get me a chip and an app for my

Birthday all weighing less than a gram

And I should come as I am

I chuck my new trending 

Gaza Strip loafers

Into my River Island vintage bag

Knowing I can move faster in my sneaks

But at the door I pivot and spin

My battery is down

Down

Gotta recharge

Texting “Recharge”

My nail speeds over the keys

And it has the texture of a butterfly on it.
