Pain SchoolThey bring the rock down upon your hands
They kick your legs out from where you stand
It doesn’t matter if you’re not a man
In Pain School
They hook your body up to machines
They steal a peek inside your dreams
All subversive thoughts will be seen
In Pain School
In Pain School,
You’re risin’ to the head
Risin’ to the head...

Lee Watches Thrillers on TVI rarely see a ghastly sight said Lee
Nothing grisly or gruesome except on TV
I watch homicides all day and night long
What murderers do to bodies, is usually wrong.
Why don’t you watch uplifting shows? Mama said
They don’t interest me or excite my head.
Liking the macabre seemed weird to her.
Especially since Lee used to be pacifist-pure.
I’m still...

Codes and PasswordsThe combination lock I had
In high school, for the gym,
Would open with a special code;
Though memory’s grown dim…
I still remember: 2 – 8 – 2
Turn right, then left, then right,
Those numbers etched into my brain,
Which I can still recite.
Those were the only numbers that
I had to memorize
To access something locked away
(My sneakers, I’d surmise).
Yet...

Entangled in the Digital Web: The Modern TrapIn a realm once pure, where stories were shared,
A new world arrived, yet no one was prepared.
Young hands that once worked with skill and grace
Now swipe on screens, lost in the race.
They dream of fame and riches untold,
But in return, their secrets are sold.
A click, a share, and trust is gone-
Privacy is lost as the...

At the Apple StoreI couldn’t keep on putting off
An update to my phone;
With apps no longer working,
I was in a retro zone.
But when I tried to update
I was rapidly deterred,
For the message I kept getting was
“An error has occurred.”
So I made a quick appointment
At the nearest Apple store –
Walking distance, early morning,
Not a real unpleasant chore.
Though they...

iPhone Dropped on its HeadI was thinking of a bummer -
do iPhones get any dumber
every time you drop 'em?
Nowadays, I'm a ding-a-ling.
I really depend on that thing.
My brain don't work, my phone don't ring -
I wish I could swap 'em....

If Elon Musk were a little bit more street smartIf Elon Musk were a little bit more street smart,
he’d train his SpaceX robots in the subtle art
of picking up the piles of doo
that dogs have strewn on every American street and avenue.
That would go a long way into his fulfilling his
“Make America great again” part.

Phone Sonnet
I see a phone as mostly an annoyance,
I get ten or so calls as each day goes by.
My comfort zone is the bottom of a rut,
and most calls want a slice of our pie.
My first two lines I was interrupted twice,
both times my wife calling from the store.
At mealtime it appears hooked to my fork,
The...

Lord Vader in our own galaxyWhy can't he sell all of his cars?
Darth Elon with government spars!

Tesla's board wants him stowed
On the Space-X Death Star to Mars...

It's Here, There, Everywhere
A naughty urge has now bloomed fully grown
thoughts keep placing intent in my head zone
I imagine a slingshot
in my dark side's desired plot
I wish to shoot Soup's robot bunny down...

Distance Between UsDistance divides people
It is scary
You don't know
Whether they will miss you
Or forget you.
Nevertheless, distance makes
People less worries now
Because of modern technology
Cellphone, internet makes
The world grows closer each day....

Algorithm and Bloom
My phone buzzes, a sunrise in my hand,
Your name, a ping, I finally understand.
We met online, a pixelated start,
But hearts, it seems, are coded works of art.
Remember that late-night voice, soft and low?
You spoke of rain and how the fireflies glow.
I felt a warmth, a circuit in my soul,
Like...
