Lazily I sit
Looking at my thumbs play games
Playing each other
Smashing sore thumbs down beneath
Winning games as I do so

Guided by the light of the laptop
My Facebook friends are not real

Thumbs up Thumbs down
The trolls are everywhere
Download the final of your favourite TV show
surf the cyber waves without a care
received the
thumbs down
was a hit and
miss that brings
it back to the
drawing board
of life once more
causing a much
needed change
in direction down
the dirt paved road
leading to the future
and all it's possible
positive unseen
unknown promises
of betterment for all
involved
I Nearly Pinned
It Down, The
Core Of My
Stupidity, Had It
In My Grasp...
I Didn't Use No
Grease, But It
Squeaked Away...
With Humility's
Grace... Sounds
Good, But Almost
Had It, And It’s
Vanished.
It Was Hard To Catch...
Oh Well, Doesn’t
Matter Now.
My Bad.
Thumbs Down.
No Giggling.
Pipe Down.
Not You.

BULLIES
have big problems
understanding others
feeling so inferior themselves
they feed their ego by stealing other’s
self-esteem in damaging ways
no one respects tyrants
so, thumbs down on
BULLIES!

Thumbs hold first-string
position in the hand.
They send messages
everyone understands.
Thumbs up say,
“You did it.
Go get it!”
Thumbs down say,
“You blew it.
You’ll regret it!”
Thumbs out signal,
“Get ‘outta’ here,
please disappear.”
Thumbs forward coax,
“Come here,
gimme a hug.”
Arms form columns,
but thumbs speak volumes.
Your middle finger
speaks its own language.
Stars can never guarantee
A movie will be good,
Nor can advertisements
Which come out of Hollywood.
Is it worth one’s time to see
A top-notch actor acting
In a film so bad the few good scenes
Become distracting?
Don’t the actors realize
That this flick’s not up to snuff?
Maybe earning so much money
Justifies enough.
Still, it’s disappointing
When performers choose to star
In a movie for which somebody
Has clearly dropped the bar.
From the first generation came
our strength. Theirs was
the legacy the second generation
relinquished, too heavy
to own, and we, the third,
watchers and assessors of
these coldest moons and nights
the stars refused to illuminate,
saw the comets take a nose dive
down black holes our compass struck
a truce on. Strange loyalties
seduce us, thumbs-up, thumbs-down.
It's so capricious a matter
that Caligula's our friend
with his chain snake-looping
the darkness, nailing us.
