Poem

I really need my Dell computer
can’t live without a cell phone
to my ear
Anything to keep
me from being by myself,
alone
or from anyone growing too dear.

I commute to work at 8 am
I swear at the other cars 
I seclude myself behind office walls 
and wait all day to hit the bars

I have the latest model SUV
201 channels on my TV
don’t want anybody to talk to me,
I wear headphones at the gym
I got CD’s that line the walls
Voice mail to take my calls
a shopping service to hit the malls
I hug the tree and send others out on a limb.

I don’t want to be alone
Might have to ask myself some questions
I don’t want to answer why
Know if I took the time to ask myself
I know, sure as hell 
I’d lie.

I can’t spare a single moment 
not even to watch the setting sun,
Can’t smell the budding flowers 
or embrace the thundershowers
I instinctively stay on the run

I need a new stereo system 
need to blare loud music or
listen to books on disc
I need to crowd my life with merchandise 
cause idle time all by myself
poses too much risk

I’ll exchange banter with the best of you
As I swill drink after drink at the bar
I laugh and joke and make suggestive remarks 
But they don’t get me very far

Cause I don’t really know myself
And I don’t really want to know you
I just want to surround myself
with too much of nothing to do.

I really need my Dell computer
Can’t live without a cell phone
to my ear
Anything to keep
me from being by myself
alone
and facing what I fear.
