CHANGE invades my future
temporary symbols & images
expose my convulsing language
i misread reality
our tightly wired world
zaps~place, space & time
alters the way i feel
the texture of my existence
POWER, SPEED & FORCE
discharge unfamiliar shapes
social fabric is replaced
we plug into modules
dispose of persons
redesign the human race
relearn reality & shop
for psychological baggage
to tightly wire our world
AGAIN
pending change

I love the atmosphere, mood and imagery of this poem Dianne and the contrast between the wired world of this generation, where life, relationships, culture and society is discarded without remorse..like throwing an empty tin in the trash can.." i misread reality..social fabric is replaced..we plug into modules dispose of persons.." and the imperfect but real world we were used to..is disintegrating into these " temporary symbols and images " all " pending change " in this age of technocrats and tycoons playing wired monopoly with impotent nations. Great poem. You tell it how it is and we feel how much it hurts!
ReplyDeletenice rhythm and all. i would prefer less abstraction and some imagery, concrete and metaphorical so that I could grasp this in a more poetical sense. no argument at all with the points you are making.
