What are you doing, @harvestbird?

Colloquy with this post.

Form

#Writing with a famine of #keystrokes.
This invisible salon exerts a vacuum.

I feel the short-form’s #pressure
to finely-turn my phrases.

Censoring, in slowish motion,
my duties, #fears and pleasures.

Where elsewhere I might lumber,
here, I yet #fizz.

Content

Either:

It is here much like anywhere else:
define #yourself by what you’re not.
Long-spar with life’s antagonists
in constant flow of idle #words.

Or:

I was #hapu there
and then I was not.

Or:

Attention seeking
becomes attention deflecting.
Sometimes on the internet
too many people, #listening.

After W.H. #Auden

Twitter makes nothing happen:
it survives, flows on south
From the busy griefs; it survives,
A way of happening ( #lol !), a mouth.
