You stay in melbourne now,
coping better with its cold
than your frostbitten spirits

Your blogged words
spoke of your
attachment to life
like an outdated CD
You endure
the same old boring tunes,
reluctant to
expand your repertoire

You turn to
larger-than-life movie characters,
with their mind-numbing showcase
of how to lead
psyched-up lives

You tolerate
the smirking blank screen,
whose shroud of charged emptiness
you fumble with
by hastily placing
yet another disc

I relate
I place faith too
in the odds of deriving
divine inspiration/knowledge/lessons/whatever
from classier fictional realities

Yet I left your blog
without leaving a well of words
because i couldn't quite pen
a comment about kindred spirits

You drove your message home quite well with your final verses. Pleasure to read

As always, you offer truth and reality with gentle but concise candor. It is so good to have you back!
