HOLD THE MUTE BUTTON
by John Yeo

Many passengers sharing a long-haul flight across the globe.
Transcontinental,
A darkened atmosphere. 
Day turned into night.

An undercurrent of sound. 
A babble,
A torrent of voices in a vacuum.
What is under discussion?

A flood of unidentified thought,
Mostly inconsequential, 
Minds deprived.
Stimulus provided by a small screen in front of the eyes.

To a highly gifted sensitive mind,
Deprived of sensory stimulus,
Are these telepathic thoughts, voiced?
Or are they vocalised undercurrents?

Sitting in a cramped row of seats
In front of an illuminated screen,
Time drags on.
The sound continues unabated.
Sound delivered through a headset.

UNIDENTIFIABLE~~~~~~~

For this week’s prompt, write a messing around poem. There are a number of ways to take the phrase “messing around,” and I expect y’all will explore that territory well. For me, I’m going to write my poem and get back to messing around. Happy poeming!
  • LIFE IN GENERAL

Life is always unpredictable, prone to exaggeration,
Sometimes life is inexplicable, twisting and turning,
Always in motion.
Life is ever an adventure, 
As we traverse through the seasons.

Cleo was in tune with the changes, in popular impression,
Prone to misunderstanding, jumping to wrong conclusions.
Sometimes totally inexplicable,
Twisting life for all the wrong reasons.
A lady for all seasons.

Life can be a total mass, of mistaken exaggerated confusion,
The only way to face up to life, is to stop this mass
Becoming a mess, then turn your life around.
Never run away or go to ground, face up to your life,
Stop and think, value your friends~~

Then do stop messing around!
