The Monitor

Behind The Painting

Watches Our Love.

A single firefly
bumped into a computer monitor
and
fell into the keyboard,
floundering
lost in the valley,
slow crawling
disappears into the darkness....

Snuggled in amongst the heaps
Watching, watching, as she sleeps
Alert for but the slightest peeps
On monitor, his vigil keeps
Awake she is, so up he leaps!...

I stand
stealthily still
a motionless monitor
of movement.
Stiff legs
whiplash neck
mud still patience,
a poised
mime-like predator
waiting.

The distance between the stars
is stone deaf.
Diamonds die last, stones are blind
but all knowing.
Man is a blip on a self-made monitor.

Sound bites are a poets
last resort.

fickle   fashion  trends
lines   go   up   and   lines   go   down  
going   long   or   short  
ticker  tape   troubles  ticker
monitor  flatlines  near   bed

I never see the stars anymore.
Whenever I was losing my mind,
I'd stare out my window,
the one I now lack.
But now all there is,
are the lights on the monitor,
and the beat of my heart....

Aloof camera
top notch
paid for in full
running on it's own
monitor far from home
as I peer through his lenze
he makes fun of someone
it makes more sense
1 dull sacrifice for human life...

The era of mass surveillance
Is upon us
1984 prophecies fulfilled
But so many more big brothers
Watching us everywhere
The eyes in the sky monitor us
24/7 no one can escape the police state....

Spotlight shining on the deficiencies of another,
Only momentarily takes the focus from our own.
If the focal point is forever on a sister or brother,
We've no time to monitor how ours have grown....

Always ready to defend the weak
Mighty in power and stature
Envious of no other
Reaching out to those in need
Intercepting all threats
Careful to monitor world events
America stands tall, so can we...

Eat a tater, alligator
Stupid smile, crocodile
See you later, Mater-Pater
After while, stinking pile.

Minotaur and Gabriel
Monitor and Gariel
Eat the layman, pretty cayman
Quite the romp, in the swamp....

I sit in my easy chair
with its back to the picture window
in my living room
facing the TV monitor
watching the world flash by
over and over
in different reiterations
until someone turns 
my electricity off...

Wearing a heart monitor is annoying at the least
Aware of it's function, gives an indication of heart grief
Whether healthy of not
Free of nasty blood clots
Annoying, but could indicate a life long yummy feast...

Multi-coloured whirlygigs
and dangling dvd mobiles
have a playful role
protecting my potted
young Blueberry bushes
from hungry for worm birds
digging up the plants
I might even add a baby monitor
making the sculpture
complete....

In calling
This short distance
Home
Could you
Relieve me
As we sleep
Monitor the
Rides that
Ride right by
Can’t help but
Feel you
All night
By my side
Left or right
I don’t know
Anymore and
It seems not to matter
Tonight...

Agents against 'Woke'
ban, monitor
revise, exclude
like
'Natives' intruded
like
ships didn't deliver slaves
like
Anne Frank didn’t journal
like
separate was equal
like
history was meant to be revised
like
they want to see it....
