The Phenomena of Silent Companionship

Listen to poem:

The Phenomena of Silent Companionship David J Walker Only the low electronic voices That run the house that Blink in blues and greens Can be heard Can be seen in The dark Can be comfort in their Private conversations Talking about me Never speaking to me Unless addressed for Necessary maintenance I am the master Free But only within their Borders My Powers are paid for In monthly Installments The high price for The phenomena of Silent companionship

..... Poem sounds like an 'under the thumb' husband to me..... Musically and whimsically written.

I like this, David. I often moan about fridges humming, washing machines vibrating and things going beep in the night. Now, I’m gonna wonder what they’re saying. If I start talking to them... I’m blaming you ;)

Nothing wrong with a silent friend, when chosen, but I guess its not so cool, when you do not have a choice..
