bluetooth bandit

[emel.scott]

back before bluetooth
when you saw
someone on the street
talking to
no one in particular
you could
rest assured
they a had a link
to the other side
to the spirit world
where the reality
they spoke to
was as justified
and real for them
as the one
we are fooled by
every day
here
and it was
somehow comforting
for me to know
that when I was old
or feeble
or both
there was someplace else
someplace special
that only I could see
to which
I could look forward
to going

Right off I'll say go fuck yourself emel because this is the first piece of yours I've read that is straight up and coming at ya & taking no prisoners - it sat me up in my chair and straightened my spine and involved me as a reader - I love the idea behind this and how you sustained it from first word to last without any stink of personal fanfare - there is too much gush in this forum most of the time and we aren't respecting one another by all the pats on the back so I hope that what I'm saying here stands out from all that...there is not one wasted word in this piece of writing nor any wasted spaces between the words - YOU NAILED IT DOWN TIGHT AND ITS GOT SAND - you've just shown here that you can write when you want to and you respect your readers without fear so from here on out to forever this is what I'm going to expect from you every time -top shelf & under fire -ya hear?...and did i say go fuck yourself,emel?...well,in case ya missed it "GO FUCK YOURSELF, EMEL, YA BRILLIANT BASTARD!

dam
I was going to say I can relate to this one
but now I guess it just sounds like another got dam pat on the back right

only trouble with studio eight is people don't use enough emoticons, other than that I love this place.

It's just about like you say. I know a guy who walks around talking to no one in particular, that is, if you approach from the right side. He's got some sort of device stuck in his left ear.
