come on down to the Mermaid Cafe

                                Caught in the web



boredom, boredom burning bright
tell me tales of adventure and woe
keep me in knowledge and life
	when staying in my home
			        (home)
			        (home)

i connect through fingers
	and thought
		typing and reading and moving naught
	the web is large and gritty and lovely 
		we’re caught like fly in a spider’s parlor
	i look for matthew gray gubler
		my crush on murder tv
			then i find another show 
		do i want to see?

boredom, boredom burning bright
	wikipedia is life
		always another blue word to click
			how am I learning about losing one’s sight
	youTube keeps me in music
		miley cyrus forming into rock
			the way i watch nate ruess’ mouth when he sings
				they’re all in my dreams

connection and zoom
	pictures and texts and telephone calls
so many people have seen my puerto rican curls
(i mean, are you people even real)
poetry readings once a fortnight 	
a new friend to make 
	if i form the effort to say hello

boredom, boredom burning bright
tell me tales of connection and woe
