A-Z

Cursive carefully constructed

Highest marks for penmanship

And a memory too

So I’d anticipate the dates

And return the letters,

Receive their weather, animals, neighbors, change - the poignantly peripheral.

That was when there could be Thou;

But now?

The narcissist beasts interfere,

Contaminate,

It’s not good enough to have robot script,

The contents also need to be ash.

The overseer is cynical: accuser, judge, jury all in one.

End result is circus life

With the back biters and stabbers,

These aren’t who I rise to meet with,

Birds don’t trust this wire any longer.

Someone dropped human to be consumer;

Was it you, parents?

Might call when glowing box gives the command,

Likely be old time landline flatline response no matter.

{disremember .. not respecting enough to remember?}
