In The Silent Cafe

This body sits alone in silent recall,

the voices, the activity, the monstrous sound

of espresso being ground,

for the hurried and swaggered consumer.

Down With Freshly Pressed

Down with Freshly Pressed!
The dreaded popularity test
Bloody barons
Masked in blue
Judging me; judging you
Keeping everyone a fool
Dancing, pleasing, jesting too
Never known to be so cruel
Controlling gods of likes and follows

The Blogger’s Prayer

Our Bloggers who art on WordPress
Hallowed be thy sites
Thy Followers come

As in ‘draft’
So it is in ‘published’
