Talk Thursday: My Place

My Place on the Internet(s)

Start with a name,
one of my names,
and a place on the internets¹
I claim with an electric spike
for myself and you.

Throw down the words and images,
the gauntlets and white gloves,
the deliberations and indecisions
of how far I go or how far I haven’t.

Cast the ways, we’re castaways.
We’re travellers on the same road.
Heed the sign posts and mutterings
of maddened prophets.
Grab a magic marker
and make your own signs.
Label me².  Draw a line
from neck to navel and lower.
Label yourself and instruct
or detract a truth.
Frame the moment of each other
and hang us on a wall.

Glimpse never and always.
Feel familiar and otherworldly.
Unexpectedly expect.
Stubbornly relent.
Right?  Write.
Learn the pace of procrastination
up to the lightning steps of connection.

¹ A Bushism that I can’t stop using.
