John Lawless Poet Verse

Vagabonds - the Lost Avatars

Vagabonds – the lost Avatars


Virtual Vagabonds, avatars
lost amid the teeming Ethernet,
signal searchers illuminated
in the blue light of emptiness

Hobos of a cordless conga line
falling in and out of “bars”
fevered followers worshiping
at the altars of the asinine

Homeless thoughts adrift
in an itinerant infinity
collide with freelance feelings
weeping in crowded solitude

“Screenbound” globetrotters
hiking the world’s keyboards
wayfarers without wires
confined to their seats

“Life”, led by a scrolling finger
followed by two hundred “friends”
seeking validation of its meaning
in the contortions of “emojic” grins.
