Wired Poems

Premium Memberwe are all alone: totally wired

Everything’s been frantic since the break.
What people don’t tell you about college,
is that you’re just tired ALL of the time.
I’m so tired, yawn ‘scuse me.
So if you’re planning to talk to me, bring coffee, make
some effort to be interesting - clap your hands or.. something.

Work piled up on me while I was sick (I missed

Premium MemberThe Way I'm Wired

(FND awareness)

Functional Neurological Disorder
Sounds far more serious than required.
However, life now makes more sense.
That's how it is. It's the way I'm wired.

I thought I had a medical "epsy"
Due to crazy symptoms that make one tired.
It's good to know it's only FND.
It's not my fault. It's the way I'm wired.

The structural hardware works just fine.

Premium MemberRewrite Your Code

“That’s just the way you’re wired”
Sure some settings are predetermined out of the box 
But most adapt over time to the environment 

Growing up we all adjust to the situation to survive
To try to get our needs met and gain connection 
In order to not short circuit 

Same wiring extends to adulthood if you let

Premium MemberWired To Win

Having stretched the boundaries of hope
to encompass yesteryear's follies
and truths abandoned for fantasy,
faith forces us to walk life's tightrope
blindly, and yet, we manage to cope.

Youth is too cocky to make mistakes
navigating repeated patterns
through choices and their consequences.
Full steam ahead, both feet off the brakes,
they're wired to win, whatever it takes.

As years fall away like Autumn

All Wired Up

All Wired Up
Bird on a wire with an art gun. Oh not in the sky. Stoned on turtle cigars. No flying. Light headed oh yes. Sickness from high speed turns? Feel the G force kick in on those wicked turns. I watch you with envy. Wish I could fly like that. Better than the green

Weirdly Wired

(A mental state of the heart)

A teeming onslaught of ice cold musings
flood the mind burst its seams
Cascading down in torrents
gushing into a heart aflame
in lava hot emotions
Thoughts heavy laced with feelings
whirlpool this ticker
with reckless abandon
mounting pressure cues in a short circuit
Checked all the wires
See its not miswired
Does seem weirdly wired
Morphed into an interface
Its quiddity to

We Were Wired

WE WERE WIRED
Seeing the thickness of the forest craved the feel of darkness
I told myself and my mates, ‘We risk missing our way’.
The canopy cover craves countless thoughts
A save place from the sun’s harsh rays,
A hide-out for the monsters we dare.
The natural musical rhythm of the un-conducted choir
Yet the melody sounded in agreement to the

Premium MemberWired For Sound

I'm wired for sound like I'm from another planet
Testing to make sure all's copacetic in my pumper gadget
If it's clicking on all cylinders
To determine if I'm still a sizzler
But there's a possibility they'll just discover I've got maggots

Wired

The lights went out; the power died.
We had to call Con Ed.
Three hours later, it was fixed
And this is what they said:

A squirrel on a wire outside
Decided he would chew it.
He took one bite and that was all
It took for him to do it.

The loss was 20 houses wide,
All due to foolish chomping.
That squirrel should

Too Wired For Bedtime

The scratchy fog will not alight,
upon the eye's shield to the night.
On upward drafts of rumination,
Hypnos whirls past his noble station.
Like Greeks concealed inside the steed,
thoughts - swords drawn - wait to be freed,
upon a mind in blind delight,
which had prepared for restful night.
No sooner than my head was laid,
those Greeks unleashed their thund'rous raid.
Early

Wired

A friend, when seeing folk he did not like,
Always said, they were not wired right.
Be male or female, black or white,
If he didn't like them for any reason,
Always said, they were not wired right.
Now I see the world in a terrible blight,
I find myself saying, we're not wired right.
Wars being fought in faraway lands,
Killing each

Wired

Ted Hughes warned of telegraph wires
and their tones that empty human bones

In this more modern digital age
I wonder too, through wired rage

Whether the internet, full of trolls and ****
Can perhaps evolve beyond its scorn

And become the tool for improving life,
Sharing ideas, battling strife

As our brains melt, and the icecaps too
It seems, surely the best thing

Wired

W as it just yesterday when
I found a vestibule
R ight next to my goals
E lse something is wrong, which brings
D elineation of a moral code!

I would set the world afire with political desire to achieve and to aspire.
I am going to be a political activist on women rights.
I have step-to-the-cause to claim ownership of my

Wired Wrong

Head hurts horrendously
Thundered thoughts throb
Manic mind melts
Bizarre brainwaves beckoning 
Whatever wanders wayward
Furiously fueling falsehoods
Deepening demented delusions
