a study toward sonnet #404 by FisherKingKQJ
Letica Interactive
And so I scribbled my full christian name
Across the blank of an application form,
And I worried the bureaucrat might claim
I couldn't find myself in a brainstorm.
I wasn't somebody, I was a swarm:
I'd pretended to love a certain style
Of music, or I'd faked love up to norm
For computers - all with a phoney smile.
I waited for genuine love with little guile-
Someone responsive, patient and so kind
With intellect and career on the dial,
Who my natural self would love and mind.
Love even chilling and distant appealed,
When compared to botheration congealed.
(Chorus)
Love even chilling and distant appealed.
Love even chilling and distant entreated.
Love even chilling and distant solicited.
