Everybody's Gone (Free verse) by impert&ent August.
The town empties
even the seagulls are on vacation.
Sunday.
Facebook is awash with complaints.
the vanity of screenlife obscures what's missing.
a curious lack of cameraderie.
Better to write a poem
in solitary
in acknowledgement of this peculiar setting
A substitute for conversation
with a friend
That's what it boils down to
This virtual life
every need unfulfilled
Except the need for attention
Constant
Insatiable
Where did everybody go?
Up the ladder:
Taste Ghazni
Down the ladder:
Lovesick

damn. nailed it for me right now.
Poemranker you are still here
in spite of that lousy security exception nearly two years after I last visited. What is that about? How do you manage? Fucking ghost ship, wandering the highways, playing sneak attack on the pilgrim tourists Straddling the dusty road like some forlorn and has-been movie set Cast off from the realities of TV and film production Lonely ghost town ISO lonesome highway for romance and possible LTR.
I went away a few years ago, left the lonesome highway. The ghost ship is still here thanks to nentwined.
Put up a new poem, I'll give it a gander. 3 view(s)
