alternate universe

[constantine]

i go nuts in this place
and it helps talking to you
i feel so alone
i sit at the computer
i check out the sites
as if
i was visiting with friends
family, or petting a cat
i saw a neat cat online
once i saw a kiwi
and it changed my life
in some minuscule sense
i felt i could understand
what it goes through, searching
the forest floor, a grub here
an insect that tastes buttery
squabbles and squawks
social life, i crave that
sometimes, i miss it so bad
that i resort to poetry
i'm talking to you now
from an alternate universe
a galaxy of kiwi birds and squirrels
good people, i love them so
but i can't make them understand
i can't make them accept me
as one of their own kind

You made my day with this....love it!

somewhere,
squirrels and kiwis wink in knowing brotherhood

Classic poem.

For me, they're gars and goldfish and goldfinches...and they don't get it either, that I'm a person too. But I stay with them...and now and then a few respond with something seemingly personable too.
