drone
by Vivienne Grantthe insistent burble
of information
flowing from your mouth
does insidiously
delude
both burbler and burblee
drone away . . .
streams and reams
of information
gleaned
from internet
seem
to be
your dubious
glee
. . . drone away
as welcome
as a science exam
would be
to a person like me
the stuff you spew
only serves to do
what the anaphylactic
would
when confronted by bees
shoo! drone . . . away!

streams and reams
of information
gleaned
fits beautifully on the tongue |
