This is my brain. This is my brain on a new drug. Want to go for a ride? c/c/need lessons for future use!?

Don't throw rocks at the doggone TV; it is blameless for our dependencies through our own lack of self-control! I, too, have less than I'd like, but am learning...and I, too, have times when it is all I need...just runnin' in the background...singin'...dispensin' ironic, while wildly entertainin', justice...or landscapin' on the main with a new souffle waftin' cool aromas in the inset screen.

As for calming...company is what it is for me...watched over my laptop...rarely with any concentrated attention...the "Electronic Fireplace"!

I adore your mind, y'know. Nuttin' new, but freshly dispensed nonetheless! An entertainin' and encouragin' reminder at large! BRAVO, schweetheaht!

Good Morning HD.

I can't address what manner of synthetic it may be, but I will perhaps have to be on something, depending on situational influences or results this summer, but I found the TV reference interesting, as it can be a state of mind,induced. I can say this was a clear write, and I too, have wondered and kept you in thoughts.

I don't think my food would digest were I not watching TV while I ate.

I like your poem a lot. You express thoughts in a unique and interesting way.

My suggestion is condense the last verses together as in the first half of your poem

As far as content, I forgot about rhyme scheme. Good rhythm accomplishes this.

Spacing out when one is having a bad day/period of time is often therapeutic. My wife asks me often what I am thinking about when I stare out a window. Often, it's nothing which I've found in its own way is refreshing. Sure beats a hangover!

Now get your rear off the damn cowhides and go do something, even if its throwing rocks at the TV!

your poem tells a sad story of us, as our technology has advanced

most of us have lost the ability to think for ourselves.Most people

have noise around them 24/7..it almost as if they are afraid to think

or to finally realize the world their TVs project is not the world

they live in.Personally I make sure each day I spend a couple

of hours outside, away from comfort....good write about a good

subject.....

New.

Knew.

The knowledge

of impending destruction is

shoved into an

unused tube of the brain.

I love this very very good , dark but extremely good imagery

Thank you HD :)

Mornin sweet sister. I'm so happy to see you back, I enjoyed the poem in how rellative it is to so many of us. Certainly I enjoy that you wrote it, sharing a sense of what's been going on, and you know we love you.

I will not make light of your write Beth

I quite enjoyed it..

seems to me this drug as a tendency to make you act like a guy

..flick, flick, flick

arrrggggg..channel surfing

i'm sorry, what was the question?

ahh..ok. to me, its dark and moody with a familiar feel (ever-changing world and technology). i enjoyed reading it!

I really enjoyed reading it thank you
