Talking and searching!

Next stop, 2nd avenue. This place is where the literary spokesman resides. There is an energy to the room that is felt on so many levels by so many people. There is spoken word. What does that man? I think that it is the beautification of words that when presented aloud, it creates both beauty and imagery to the five senses! This is not an easy task. The first few lines need to grab the ears of its audience. We live in a world where we are constantly plugged in. We are like robots that don't communicate anymore. We converse via text message and email. There are some that IM, but mostly the only thing we are reduced to is, impersonal means of communication. Wars are fought on occasion as a result of arguments and discussions falling on deaf ears! The world is hostile. So many have good answers but nobody is buying the time to listen. The IPOD just finished its last song, my blackberry is buzzing with messages, I have to text so and so, and the list goes marching on.........Eventually we'll have to learn how to communicate or the place where we are now seated, will implode! Now, we are all guilty of this, and I am certainly not excluding myself from the discussion but, I believe that communication is of the utmost importance in today's climate. These are merely suggestions and not gospel. And, no, I don't have the answers, just my observations.

Arctic air is crisp
while hanging by a wisp
it is indeed drawing fluid from its ducts
while the old lady buys her tucks
sweating, cold, and feeling quite bold
how to prevent the chills and the ills of the earth
by talking and not stalking these tangible's
it's the temple built by carl hempel (philosophy)
Who the owl says who?

None because what's done is done
Dante and his purgatorio
depicts, designs, deconstructs,
these trees are bare but murky are its details
the birds are buzzing despite the unmerciful
the moose was loose and airlifted to utah
the missionaries watched it get dropped off to them
yin and yang fight for strength and
I fruitlessly await the day for communication to be borne!

James
