A Status Update to the Void
by Richard ColinsonThe white box beckons
I am feeling lonely, upset and depressed
But I can't say that, I cannot mention
That your attention, once a gift so rich
Has been withdrawn
Perhaps an amusing link
Something about my life
If I ever did anything worthwhile
Or had anything worth saying

If you've never read Saucer of Loneliness by Theodore Sturgeon, you should...it's one of my absolute favourite pieces of writing and I think you'd really enjoy it. |
