Communiqué

Just leave me be
I want my loneliness
But words speak softly
in an empty room.

I need to check my phone
Turn my internet off and on
Close facebook
just to open it again.

Surely there must be
a glitch in the system
A trick or a slip
A wire crossed

Unfortunately
I can't be fooled that easily
Methods of communication only work
when people want to communicate

And so a thousand thoughts die
and a hundred hungers fade
A dam that would break
and forever change the landscape...

Never breaks
The water just recedes
The regime goes on
The cataclysm is averted.

And so the man of tomorrow
is delayed another day
and eternity stretches on
without another to mark its passage.
