REBOOT BINGE

Take a moment and Reboot....

Turn off the dam Blackberries.
And the iPhone 4 too.

You’re psychologically tired,
I know it; so do you.

You need a Reboot Binge,
So loosen that neck tie.
And tonight we’re going nuts,
Yeah, even if you sigh.

The rooftop laid back,
The wind in your hair.
The smile you’d forgotten,
Flashing here and there.

The warm sun splashing splendidly.
Nature’s color swirling around.
Your mentality being defragmented,
All that stress and doubt. 

Tonight we leave the city,
Yeah the kids are with their aunt.
No, I won’t give you the phone.
They’re fine; you know that.

The music is loud for a reason.
So dance and unwind at will.
Oh, I see a laugh, it’s pretty.
We got friends, the night’s young still.

Hanging out like we used to.
Forget all that mental luggage…
Or at least postpone it till tomorrow.
Cause today you’re out your cage.

Dine at one in the morning.
Fireworks chancing the sky.
The mariachi serenading you.
A gentle breeze sweeping by.

Talk and joke and sip some more.
Ah that laugh; the world missed it.
That grin of yours distinct…
It’s time to hit the street.

You’re driving like a delinquent.

Now we’re abandoning the car…
Dancing to the song on the road.
Aweing at that shooting star.

Jumping into deep fountains.
Dumping coins in generously.
Kicking our shoes off.
Swimming so furiously.

Fake wrestling in the water.
Man, we’re completely soaked.
Who cares? You ask finally.
Yeah, let’s get out of here.

That look you’re giving me,
We’re in the elevator, no.
You’ve grabbed me by the head.
Dam, you can be so loco…

You’re half asleep in my arms.
No need to thank me still.
Yeah, I love you too…
Glad you’ve finally healed.
 

Zzzz…
Reboot.

one should put down their gadgets and just spend time with friends to be silly and uninhibited. great piece.

i love way you used simple words... makes a WHOLE lot of people appreciate and understand it. and it's funny too, with a nice rythm. it seems like some of the rhymes were forced, though. better be careful next time.
thumbs up!

One happy, hopeful poem this! You're so right too, get rid of all the techno and glitches, get back to basics, go with your thoughts and feelings, let loose the responsibilities and stress if only for a while .. open the door of life's cage and fly! The ending of your poem suggests such glorious love and happiness .. wonderful.

(not sure about the word 'dumping' - 'tossing' maybe!)
I'm with you absolutely!

How we all need that sweet escape! Just get back to the basics... the thrill of being alive in a world so wondrous and vast. Keep us all on track!

I like the poem a lot. We need to escape the city and the electronics. You took me on a good field trip to find peace and happiness again. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

I loved this! I think everyone can relate to this. We all need to take a step back, disengage, and just be. Just live. Wonderful piece.
