Building A Nest Much More Complicated

[billy]

i see the poem better in the above reply rowen i even think i feel it;

I knew the title could prepare you
for something that might seem complicated and jumbled.
What I was trying to do here is compete
with all the high speed communication technology:
computers, cellphones, tvs, ipods.
These things that steal people's attention,
and overload them with things that simplify and over-intellectualize
at the same time. How do I compete with these addictive devices,
like cellphones that people pull out and start texting everybody
they know everytime they have a clever or witty idea,
or computer games that never end where you can be
a wizard or a princess all day and night,
or all these History Channel programs that make people
start talking like smug physicist professors or religious scholars..........................

okay the enjambment maybe a little off and i only put a small part up but there's a poem in your reply thats strong and solid and gets the emotion across to me about what you think more poetically that the poem itself. of course it could just be me that sees the reply as the poem
