i saw the best minds of our society
destroyed by text messaging
car crashes train wrecks
metastasizing devices murdering brain cells
immediacy
replacing understanding
weapons of destruction of the masses
guns don't kill people improvised explosive messages do
by the roadside in the thoroughfare car
bomb truck bomb bus bomb plane
bomb
bomb bomb bomb
inattention is the new concentration
soon we will all be twittering machines
Another catextrophe bites the dust in the wind
where the answers blow
(this is a poem by bill borneman
if you read it you must pay me and then i will see that he gets a cut)

hey that's not fair
you can't tell me
that there is a price for reading
AFTER i've already finished reading
or i guess you can
you just did
great poem though
especially the last stanza
with its three musical references
there
i've paid my compliments
i'll trust you
to give bjb his cut
ok
i'm willing to trade
here's the black market at its best
read a poem and trade a frequentflyerticket
that's a deal
what a deal
i wonder if i post more original poems
and demand payment
i can swing these kind of deals
this could be the start of something
