Poetry

I try to understand.

I try to adapt.

I try to learn.

But please explain again

what is the difference

between Software

and Malware?

Most are visible.

Signs of injury

or even trauma.

The worst ones

are hidden, unseen.

No one sees them

as you hurt

and can’t explain why.

Pet

Soft

Adorable

Cats.

Perfect

Sweet

Angel

Kittens.

Petting School Announcement!

At a job site.

In a restaurant.

Getting the special.

Finding your rhythm.

Laughing all night.

Mechanical processes grinding.

Our bodies functioning.

Society at capacity.

Call it cancel culture

or political correctness.

Crimes are revealed

and punishments doled out.

Some get away with murder

but those who are victims should not be silenced.

Believe your family, friends or loved ones

because some day they will be heard.

Hopefully it won’t be too late.

It is grey and fuzzy.

Both feet can fit into it.

It is warm and soft.

My cat loves to use it as his pillow.

My feet are always warm because of him.

Snow is melting.

The wind is still chilly.

Sun shines brightly.

A coat worn for half the day.

Puddles to explore.

So why am I on the computer still?

Little things throughout the week.

Then comes the time when more thorough work needs to be done.

Finding the energy comes at a cost.

The results are mostly worth it.

Except things get dirty again the next day.

Sometimes even the next hour.

Flights of fancy

are amusing

as they delight the mind

and senses.

Then with a single word

the problems at hand

come blasting back at you.

I guess I better start supper soon.

Spring apparently needs more time

to think about coming here.

Headache upon arrival

Wake up from tense dream

Laughter unappreciated

Medicine sought and taken

Giggling still heard

No where to run

Try anyways
