On jamming technology and two original poems

I have trouble now with jamming technology: a sketchy online movie service, wifi cable TV, and CDs, and DVDs that don’t always work smoothly. What did The Police say in one song? “When the world is running down, you make the best of what’s still around.” Indeed.

The joke a librarian told me was, “we call that copying machine the ‘Bob Marley’ because it is always jamming.”

Poems

“Don’t” by yours truly

Don’ t look too long.

What the heck? And,

You will be reckoned.

Give me a second.

Just get back to work,

Like a quirky turkey.

And try not to be smirky.

“Harvest” by yours truly

A single star, a lonely  bar.

How close, how far?

Multi-colored sky over winter foothills.

Peoples’ strong wills.

Angers and ills.
