 Finding The Flood - Poems by Jeremy Joel

PLAYING THE GAME


Heads filled with messages
     Hearts on the mend
Gifts without packages
     Click the word "SEND"


Philosophers and playwrights have shaped this boy and girl
They're wise and well-versed but in a tough spot
Fort Misery imprisonment for six more months
They're sucking on lemons and smirking a lot
Being true to themselves, never feeling ashamed
Cutting the fat that's friendly and fake
Turning nights over outlasting the moon
Lazily bent in mid-afternoon
Propositions and connotations
Scandalous words fueling frustration
Mysterious vocabularies so nothing is certain
Breaking the rules to solicit in person
Copperbird71 has flown to many beautiful places
Visiting vampires with imaginary faces
Don't slam the door, just leave it cracked
Transcriptions of screen-talkers are erotic in fact
This is the saga of computerized friends
Hibernating cogs in illuminating beds


Burdensome speeches
     They're recruiting the names
Students and teachers
     They're playing the game
