Found poem #2

It’s time to find a poem again! Yay! Today’s paradigm will be…what I found over the past 50 hours.

Rest assured, poor little doggie! When she dresses you in pajamas, she prepares you for all of Life’s ludicrous realities!
pills once taken for entertainment
now do anything but, maintaining
dubious adherence to general
opinion. schedules provide
meaningless information to
entice us with false surety.
familiarity with annoying
situations eases moving
through them, no one's idea
of good design. security doors
which open for everyone.
here mister tee-ess-eh? will
you pass this through your
magic gate? how does he know
it won't explode? not planning
for Game Day in your bar
most assuredly epitomizes
poor planning, understaffing,
my lovely barmaid. silent
Uber drivers receiving their
instructions in Chinese,
afraid to make eye contact.
beautiful golf courses, those
green monuments to money,
grass, dominating nature.
never in one dozen years
has any hotel thermostat
delivered any temperature
near its displayed number.

until you knot your necktie
around your head like poetry's
morning Rambo to avenge this
collection of glib promises,
lame excuses, forms without
function, lies of omission.

"Reality, I'm coming...for...you!"

Reality Bites

Smoke over Columbia River from I-90. August 2026.

REALITY BITES:

New candy? Snack?
Those little video shorts
which interrupt my sci-fi show?
Philosophical stance?
Exclamatory response to events?
New television show?
Those little pieces of my
memory which seem to be intact?

Everything said
Resonates with poetry.
Meanings double upon
meanings, symbolism
wearing various guises.
Language delivering
beyond expectations.
English's beauty.
