Booting Poems


The Crash

Reality crashed - its computer
simply refused to work anymore.

We crawled out of our caves,
the sunlight was bright,
we rubbed dry eyes and winced.

Some suggested digging for minerals,
and other raw materials,
of forging a now box of perception,
we tried re-booting the world
back to the way it was before,

Others, just sat around and starved
in the middle of a natural abondance.
Some sought to fashion,
small straw dolls to worship.

It was a times of indecisive,
bewilderment.
A time when
we had to slowly patch together
the meaning of life.

Notwithstanding
all our combined efforts,
to this very day
we have not discovered
nor found,
any meaning at all.

I bring her red and white carnations 
"Roses," she says, "only roses. Valentine's tradition."
Breezy pressure of non-acceptance
Words that flatten me like a dull sermon
Squirm inducing to understand what I'm up against
Commands that taste like salt
Re-booting the rhythm of ritual
Re-framing an approach to love
For however long the florist remains open

Premium MemberWhere Is the Sunshine- -

Where is the sunshine
Is it in the rain
Or is it hiding in my heart
Booting with the pains 
where is the sunshine

Open up my eyes 
and to my surprise 
there is a rainbow coming from heaven
 there is a rainbow and it's shining over me
 there is a sunshine where there was sadness
 those clowns hell and all the madness

From Dusk Till Dawn
The rain no longer lingers on
 in this season of rain

In this emotional scene 
I see 
the light in the days and nights
 Sunshine surrounds the rain
 is there a rainbow  embraces my heart 
again over and over again
 where's the sunshine

Apps

Thank God we have our apps,
That makes our living a snap,
To tell us how to think,
Drive a tank, or skate in a rink.

I’ll pull up an app and play a game,
Perhaps an app will chose my baby’s name,
An app to help me become something I’m not,
Or the app reminds me of something I forgot.

I’m now an expert at chess, poker and skeet shooting,
As long as my phone is not re-booting,
I can sail a boat or drive a race car,
Pretend I’m a pilot and fly a plane far.

You can shoot a trophy buck,
Catch a bass and design a truck, 
Whatever you want to do,
There is an app for you.

So I thank God today,
For this app that helps me pray,
Living really is a snap,
As long as I have my apps.

Windows So Slow

Linux Ubuntu
If ya ever tire of Winders,
 with its million upgrades,
Virus making Hackers, 
fixing yer hard drives, yes in spades,
Can yer expand yer mind a little,
shift the mothballs, yes in waves,
learn a Linux of language,
where the Hackers do not prey,
cos they don't crap in their own nest,
cos pollution aint ok,
and the variations differ,
ole Linux here to stay,
Dual booting Ubuntu and Windows,
and its never really slow,
been a using Linux  4 years,
just thought you'd like to know.

Its just like windows without the virus, 
but you have helpfiles if you get stuck, online...

Getting the Boot

I've been trying my best
to leave a comment or two,
my page takes too long to load
it's making me feel so blue.

I'm not doing anything wrong
just reading some poetry,
something is truly wrong here
and it won't let me be.

I've tried multiple times
to leave a comment on one,
I feel so very sad right now
like I've been kicked in the bum.

I keep getting the boot
I'm going to write to Microsoft,
in my letter I'll demand
"Stop bloody well booting me off!"

Dissolute December 1

Dissolute December

As far as the dissolute December went
And beyond , went the waywardness of minds
And the apostate April at last did  end
The real- time revelries  sometimes feigned.
Letting the reins drop and resting all bother
And clicking away   till the  parting of ways
In the thick of things , with one thing or the other
The reasoning  remained  stupid anyways
Depressed , texted; and  devastated, e-mailed
The status quo still stood so  starkly severed 
Malware still  ruled the failings  soulfully  rued
In the wake of rulings, rash, virus, fresh, brewed.
Booting up senses to download  life once more
Gadgets of  head were restored as never before.

The Raunchy Haunch

“Quick smart struck onion!
You metronomous fishy tail!
You’ll not be taken in by me, 
you fraudulent legume!”

I seemed to have soundly unsettled her
Set her mind cross firing, flailing
But it’s not such a thing to be nettled for
No reason for wail and paling

“Quick, smart, lush young-one!
You’re melodious, pithy, hale!
I’m already taken much with you; 
please do let me resume!”  

Still I unbloomered my hand and bloused it
Found her skin a singin’ an’ tinglin’
Thrilled firm and brazenly arouse-ed 
Her dissent clearly dissemblin’

“Oh quick, start, rush lovin’!
My ‘band’s a louse, gritty, stale!
But he’ll not be taking long from now, 
or so we should assume!”

That’s when I heard an unsettling foot step
Eared hobnail booting scooting
And so sought out the exit I 'ad free kept
Flash fear foul intention mooting

Quick; dark, hush, re-button!
Your ‘band sussed our betrayal!
I’d best be taking my leave ‘bout now,
I’ll see you in no time soon!”

Flirted With Both Nets

Players of two teams were booting the Ball
Ball between legs not finding rest at all
Tolerating merciless kicks, hoping kiss with Net 
Whiffing restlessly 90 minutes, 44 legs sweat 
Flirted with both Nets, stayed loyal to Octopus Paul

Self-Evaluation

I am blinded by these...tears i'm crying 
Binded by pain...and i can't hide from this 
I am see-through...see my sin sick soul 
If you peeped through my peepers... 
or see how i'm cracked deep down at the seams; 
it seems the threads of me keeps unravelling 
And i'm traveling deeper to a place...where cold creeps 
I'm reaping what has been sewn into me 
This shell, you see, is a fallacy 
It's a sheet that shields the best of me 
I feed off-of your energy...to better me 
I'm best suited by booting your confidence... 
control-alt-delete 
Although i seem to be well put together... 
I'm actually incomplete 
I cannot hide from this...I cannot hide from me 
But i run from sleep...I run from my dreams 
And these tears that seep...won't seem to let me be 
They won't grant me peace...so i must recollect; 
the pieces of me that are kissed with beauty 
And the depth that makes me so true... 
And these tears that blurs my reflection; 
I'm so glad i dont look like;

A Gurl's World

Most times when loneliness alooms and no one seems to be available, you don't feel like 
sleeping neither do you feel like reading a ovel nor seeing movies, gurls try something else...


*Reading their text messages (love msg's)
*Looking through a picture album or starring at the pix of her boyfriend or EX and even 
comparing.
*Thinks of what she needs and how to get it
*Try different cloths on(her latest outfit)
*Remembers her first kiss or the last sex she had. If she's a virg,she day dreams about 
when she would have ot and also with whom..
*Learning new songs if she's a music freak
*Thinking of what to wear tomorrow and next.
*How to look pretty and attract more guys to her(if she's a *****)
*Some are so weird they stare at themselves in the mirror NAKED!
*Join a site(friendship or any other) view pix of only cute guys and add them.


Loneliness is really a bad thing. You can imagine what it does.
A gurl's life is really complicated...

Always booting...
Always scanning...
Adding, deleting and reformating.
A gurl's world... What a world..!!
