We are just machines
This is now known
And this processing we skip
Causes glitches and faults 
We can go back and fix it
But it takes forever
So we are pushing on
Getting only to the point of fault
Then failing again
Yet we've switched off the signal
The outside sees the working...

Shopping today was a right pain
Stopping in aisles, searching again
Trying to guide useless trollies
Buying stuff like chips and lollies
Strained up high to the topmost shelf
Drained all my strength, frazzled myself
Standing in line to pay the bill
Landing back home, ready to kill.

Frustration

These days my frustration is digital in that `Brave New World'
                              and I can count on...

I know of a pretty New Jersey lass
Who decided to vacation First Class
But on the very first night
Oh no! Cancelled flight
What a total pain in the ass

I'm sure her tomorrows will be better
Or she'll surely be posting a letter
If her plane don't take off soon
It...

I dare not set free
kitten I have saved
from a certain death.
Crying at the door
she does not recall
how her siblings died.

Do not call me
strong Black woman for
it is not a compliment
It is a title given to us
boxed inside expectations that
weigh us down
We are not superheroes
yet we are branded with
an "S" on our chest
forced to steer clear of
the kryptonite called failure
Black women aren't
supposed to fall
We're expected...

Work, as fun as death
More, more, more, they want always
Sweet relief, paycheck....

School
They say they are here to help,
Yet have never actually helped.
They say they are there,
They are nowhere.
I don't see why they hate me,
Maybe they just can’t see.
All this rage,
I want to change.
I hate who I have become,
Yet I'm still so young.
I try to do good,
They...

She's too skinny. She's too fat.
He's too white. He's too black.

She's too pretty. She's not hot.
He wears stripes. He likes dots.

She's too peppy. She's too sad.
He's too cheerful. He's too mad.

She's too quiet. She's too loud.
He's too humble. He's to proud.

She's too much a lady....

KLOMM!!!

...Broken now.

I can change it!
That Daniel Amen
Says so...
I can change it!

...Plasticity!

OW!!!

(That's all I can take,
My Brain Hurts)

Things Grow Legs

Sometimes, I swear, things grow legs
Recipes, scissors, car keys in place
But when I look they move away
To floors, newspaper piles – hiding spaces.

We almost hear them laugh, or sneer, 
“Catch me if you can – over here.”  
Out of sight, out of...

Bob had a special talent
That only worked in his men’s store.
He had ‘clothing ESP’.
He knew what his customers wanted…and more.

When customer would come into his store
Bob would invariably say, 
“Hello. I'm Bob. Don’t say a word.
I already know what you need today.”

And he was always...
