That hum of electricityA Poem by John_CoxA lonely man dealing with said lonlinesss in the modern world. Sometimes the technology makes rejection even worse.
Paper magneted to the fridge blowing in the breeze from the ceiling fan is the only noise in my place.
Except for the non stop electric hum of appliances which I pretty much fail to notice any longer. My Head's swimming, I'm dizzy, Can't remember the last time I ate anything. I should eat. My hands are shaky I need a drink. I haven't shaved in a week and I haven't been out of this room in a good four days. I'm lost not broken hearted, just alone. Despair? No one talks to me, I have 2 friends within a 250 mile radius. I rarely see my family with the exception of holidays. I see my ex wife when I pick up or drop off the boy; That's just a smack up side the head reminder of how much I suck at life. I venture online, after all it works for so many people. I search for like minded local individuals hoping to bail me out of this rut. Some one to put a stop to the ground hog day monotony that has become what I call my life. Twenty seven messages sent and my inbox more empty than my soul. Is it just me? I'm beginning to think so. I mean what are the chances of being ignored for twenty seven out of twenty seven messages? All read and no one replied! Like this " Hi I'm John. I'm trying to meet more local people and make some friends. So how are you?". Twenty seven sent not one friendly "Hello John" or even a "F**k off!". You would figure statistically I'd at least have one reply� God I just want to get trashed and not feel so much. Go back to sleep and wait for it all to end. I'm lower than a dachshunds dick and can't even get a handshake much less a hand up. Myself, my life, my messages, We are every ones electric humming. © 2009 John_CoxAuthor's Note
