I think I found a new ISP ... I guess I'll let MCS.net switch me to Earthlink for next month but then move to this other one ... it isn't (of course) going to fix my problem with the e-mail, but at least it's a better package than Earthlink.
Got a poem done today ... I was doing really well with writing for a while there and then nothing for a week. Oh well ...
HERE FALLEN SO FAR
a split of line
a vector shattered
fragmented focus
which can not aim
to reach these goals
in all things lost
and all points broken
in days of downward drift
infectious haze
consumes the world
we slip from tasks
and into void
no healing sleep
but clouding dark
a distant frame
not far away
this weakness sweeps
away all pretense
all illusion of plan
intent means nothing
when floating vague
through realms of grey
desire seeds nothing
in drained resolve
too many wishes
too many dreams
none have basis
within the real
only our fears
and nightmares spun
of unrelenting pain
here manifest
in perfect worlds
in perfect worlds
so many things
we would achieve
so many purposes
we would fulfil
but this is not a perfect world
just a zone of endless ache
