Staring at Boxes

Staring at Boxes
Wondering

Staring at Boxes
Wondering
am I more programmed than what's in front of me?

Staring at Boxes
Cell Phones
Computers
Monitors
All run by the same chip

Wondering
Am I more programmed than what's in front me?

Sometimes
I feel like a dog
but not a terrier
more like Pavlov's Dogs

or maybe
more like Animal Farm
staring
asking questions
of the hogs
and the pigs

Staring at Boxes
Cell Phones
Monitors
Computers
Television Sets
Flat screens
all these boxes

staring at all these squares

Wondering if
Wondering If I am more programmed than the moving objects in front of me

But I have a brain
If i only had a brain
I feel like a scarecrow
or was it the tin man?

I feel like I'll miss you most of all
Dorothy
Where did all the munchkins go?
Lions and Tigers, and Bears
Oh My
Oh me
Oh me, me mine
jamming like a Beatle

Staring at Movies, Music,
Moving waves
Moving letters
Moving objects on a screen
Numbers, Roman Numerals
but it's all Greek To me

Tweets, Twitters, Tweets
All these things twitters in front of me
I feel like a bird sometimes
but I just can't find the nest

Wondering
Am I more programmed than what's in front of me?
A silly box
connected with wires

But i just wanna be wireless
and free

but i'm busy staring at boxes
instead of the people right in front of me

how many selfies does it take to get to the top of the mountain?
how many tweets does it take to make a fire?

I feel like i'm stuck in the snow
stuck in the now
with no where to go

and I don't want to be staring at boxes anymore
I wanna see the light
I wanna go outside and make a fire

and they said
i could make a living staring at boxes

and Camus said
in the midst of Winter
I found within me an invincible summer

I think the groundhog was scared of his shadow
Oh no
Groundhog's day came and went
While I was watching men fight for a trophy
and they call it the SuperBowl
oh no
I wonder if we chose what we fear
I wonder if we listen to what we hear
in one ear and out the next
I wonder

Sitting here
staring at boxes
wondering if the blanket is going to keep you warm
zipping up my jacket
putting on a hat
going to face the storm
trying to change the world

but im just stuck
im just stuck here in the snow
wondering if i could leave her
i mean
wondering if i could leave here
where would i even go?

cause im just sitting here
stuck
waiting
staring at a window
staring at the snow.
