Notes About The Poem
Tired of all the distracting ads on social media, I dis ided to display my disinterest though a poem.

Distanced I Dis connect

Distanced I Dis connect

Disconsolate enuii
I flick the screen alive 
strangers flood my space
they disparage what I use
push their disposable trash

I dismiss the ploys they use
their flashing light displays
the blur of too much choice
disturbed by airbrushed smiles
all those disjointed claims

I distrust their AI games
disquietened by false charm
my silence disconcerts 
so they offer me a deal-
who needs a talking broom

disgruntled and dismayed
to have them in my house
distracted by their noise
and always fake discounts
their loud discordant gush.

Yes, 'loud discordant gush' indeed (only benefit is the kettle boiling break if on free to air). J :)
